Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photograph titled "Bottle" by an unknown artist. The vase has a bulbous body with a narrow neck and a flat base. The vase is white with a pattern of small, dark flowers or sunbursts. The flowers or sunbursts are scattered across the entire surface of the vase. The background of the image is a plain gray color, with some slight shadows around the vase. The vase is positioned centrally in the image, taking up most of the frame. The overall appearance of the vase suggests it may be a decorative piece, possibly made of ceramic or glass.
