The image depicts a purple glass bottle. The bottle is bulbous with a narrow neck and opening. The body of the bottle is covered in a pattern of vertical lines and small bumps. The color of the bottle gradates from a deep purple at the bottom to a lighter purple at the top. The background is white with a slight shadow cast by the bottle. Streaks of light reflect off the bottle's surface. The reflection appears to be from a light source outside of the image. The image shows the bottle by American Flint Glass Manufactory titled "Pocket bottle".
