Decanter

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph of a glass decanter titled "Decanter" by an unknown artist. The decanter is made of clear glass and has a narrow neck with a small lip at the top. The body of the decanter is shaped like a teardrop, wider at the bottom than at the top, with a circular base. There is an etched design around the middle of the decanter, consisting of two symmetrical curved lines with a floral pattern in the center. The decanter is sitting on a reflective surface, possibly glass or metal, and there are shadows cast by the decanter on the surface. The background is a plain wall with a light source coming from behind the decanter, creating a bright spot behind it.
