Scent Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is a black and white photograph of a Scent Bottle by Kiyomizu. The bottle is made of dark-colored shiny material, likely glass or ceramic. The bottle has a bulbous body with a narrow neck that opens into a small circular mouth. The neck is slightly indented on two sides. The body of the bottle features a brush-painted design in a lighter shade of the same dark color. The design consists of streaks running diagonally from top to bottom. The background of the image is plain white with a slight shadow underneath the bottle.
