Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a dark-colored bottle with a wide body and narrow neck. The bottle is made from dark ceramic or clay material. The body of the bottle is cube-shaped. The neck of the bottle narrows to a small opening at the top. The top section of the neck and the rim have lighter patches where the dark surface coating appears to be chipped or worn off; otherwise, the bottle displays a solid dark color. The background of the image is light gray. The title of the image is "Bottle" by the artist Bernard Leach.
