Flask

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Flask by Kosta Boda features a clear glass bottle with a narrow neck and a bulbous body that tapers to a rounded base. The body of the bottle has a teardrop shape with a wavy, ribbed design. There are raised, swirling patterns on the lower half of the bottle and a floral pattern on the upper half. The background is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the edges to light gray in the center.
