Pocket flask

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Teardrop-shaped blue glass bottles with diamond-shaped etchings, varying in size. Two small, similarly sized bottles are on either side, and one large bottle in the center. The bottles have short narrow necks. The background is light gray with a darker vignette effect at the top corners. The artist and title, "Pocket flask", relate to the image.
