Pocket flask

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Eight glass bottles in various shades of brown, yellow, and green. The bottles are teardrop-shaped with a narrow neck and are arranged in a horizontal row. The bottles vary in size and color. The background is white with a gradient that darkens to black at the top. Two bottles on the left are brown and yellow, a large brown bottle in the center, two more brown and yellow bottles to the right of it, a green bottle next to those, and a large greenish white bottle on the far right.
