Bottle with flattened side

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a grayish-brown bottle with a narrow neck and a flattened side, titled "Bottle with flattened side" by artist Bernard Leach. The bottle is shaped like a teardrop, wider at the bottom than at the top. It has a small, narrow opening at the top with a short neck. One side of the bottle is flattened. The surface of the bottle appears to have some texture and small imperfections. The color is primarily grayish-brown with some lighter and darker patches. A small shadow is cast to the right of the bottle. The background is a plain gray color.
