Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

White vase with bulbous body and narrow neck. The body of the vase is bulbous and rounded, resembling a teardrop shape. The base of the vase is circular and flat. The neck of the vase is long and narrow, flaring out slightly at the top to form a small, circular mouth. The vase appears to be made of ceramic or porcelain. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The vase, titled "Bottle", is by an unnamed artist.
