Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is a black and white photo of a ceramic bottle by artist Isamu Noguchi titled "Bottle". The bottle is made of clay and has a wide, rounded body with a narrow neck and small opening at the top. The body of the bottle is wider at the bottom than at the top. It tapers inward to form the neck, which has a small, circular opening. The surface of the bottle appears to be unglazed and has a rough texture with visible scratches and marks. The background of the image is plain and light-colored.
