The image shows a dark-colored bottle with a narrow neck and wide body. The bottle is shiny and appears to be made of ceramic or glass. It has a glossy finish, with lighter areas reflecting light. There is a darker streak running down the front. The bottle's base is wider than its neck. The background is light gray. A small ruler-like scale is along the bottom with writing on it that reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART". Title: "Bottle". Artist unknown.
