The image shows a yellow glass bottle with a rounded body and narrow neck. The bottle is a dark amber or honey color. The body of the bottle is bulbous and roughly spherical. Vertical ridges run from the base to the top. The neck of the bottle is short and narrow. The background is gray and white gradient. The bottle casts a shadow on the surface below. The artist is not visible; however, the title is "Pocket bottle".
