Bottle with Cover

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a clear glass bottle with a cover, by an unknown artist, titled "Bottle with Cover". The bottle has a rounded body with engravings on it and two handles on either side. A number "824" is engraved on the front. The cover is shaped like a flask with a rounded top. The bottle and cover are surrounded by four clear glass objects with wavy edges, resembling flowers or leaves. Two on either side. The objects are placed on a reflective surface, likely glass or metal, and the background is a plain gray wall.
