Perfume Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Perfume Bottle by an unknown artist depicts a white porcelain perfume bottle with a rounded base featuring vertical ridges. The middle section, which is narrower, showcases a lattice design. A floral pattern encircles the lower portion. The stopper is adorned with a spherical top and resembles a stem. The background is a flat gray surface with the bottle casting a shadow to the right.
