Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a gray, double-bulbous bottle with a narrow neck and small opening at the top. The bottle has a bulbous base that tapers into a narrower middle section before widening slightly again just below the neck. The surface of the bottle appears smooth and shiny with some minor imperfections and marks. A ruler or measuring scale is placed in front of the bottle for scale. The background is a plain light grey color. The title of the image is "Bottle".
