Flask

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a teardrop-shaped glass bottle titled "Flask" by an unknown artist. The bottle is clear with a short neck and a wide, rounded body. The body of the bottle has a textured surface featuring a repeating pattern of raised, elongated oval shapes that are arranged in horizontal rows. The background is a light gray color, and the bottle appears to be sitting on a reflective surface, possibly glass or metal, with a subtle shadow underneath it. The bottle is positioned centrally in the frame.
