Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a ceramic vase titled "Bottle" by the artist Goecha. The vase has a narrow opening at the top with a thin, dark rim. The body of the vase is bulbous and rounded, tapering down to a narrower base. The vase features a beige and gray glaze that gradates from light beige at the top to dark gray at the bottom. The glaze appears shiny and reflective, with small dark speckles throughout. The background of the image is white with a shadow cast by the vase.
