Pint decanter

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Clear glass decanter with a narrow neck and a stopper on top. The body of the decanter is made up of many small, faceted shapes that refract light. The decanter has a wide base that tapers up to the neck. The stopper is dome-shaped and fits snugly into the top of the neck. The background of the image is light gray, with a slight shadow cast by the decanter. The decanter appears to be empty. The title of the image is "Pint decanter". The image appears to be a product photo.
