Double bottle (one of a pair)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a pair of ornate, antique Chinese cloisonne enameled metal double bottles. The bottles have a turquoise base color with a gold lid and a gold base. The bodies of the bottles are bulbous and round, with a narrow neck. The bottles have a design of red dragon, white and black birds, and other colorful motifs on a turquoise background. The bottles are sitting on a white surface, with a gray gradient background that is darker at the top and lighter at the bottom. The bottles are positioned side by side, with one slightly behind the other. The overall style is intricate and decorative, suggesting they are a work of art or a collectible item by an unknown artist, titled "Double bottle (one of a pair)".
