The image depicts an urn by New Bremen Glass Manufactory. The urn is made of clear glass with a green tint at the top and bottom. The body of the urn is bulbous and narrows towards the bottom. It has a wide mouth and a short, narrow stem with a circular base. The lid is dome-shaped with a small, rounded finial on top and a green tint around the edge. The background is a gradient gray color, transitioning from light to dark. The urn appears to be sitting on a surface, casting a faint shadow.
