The Pocket bottle by Kosta Boda features a dark brown glass vase with a bulbous body and narrow neck. The body has a textured surface resembling a grid pattern. The color transitions from a deep brown at the bottom to a lighter brown towards the top. The background is a plain gray color with a slight shadow cast by the vase.
