The image depicts a Wine Bottle by Leach. The bottle has a wide, bulbous body with a narrow neck. The body is roughly spherical but slightly flattened on the sides. The base of the bottle is wide and rounded. The neck of the bottle is long and narrow, with a small opening at the top. The bottle appears to be made of dark-colored material, possibly metal. The background of the image is light gray.
