The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Pocket bottle by unknown artist is a clear glass bottle. The bottle is oval-shaped and has a narrow neck with a small opening at the top. The body of the bottle is etched with a floral design and the year "1792". The background of the image is a gradient of dark gray to light gray. The bottle appears to be sitting on a white surface. The lighting in the image creates a shadow behind and underneath the bottle. The bottle is clear and appears to be made of glass. The neck of the bottle is short. The etched design on the bottle includes leaves and vines.
