Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black ceramic bottle titled "Bottle" by artist Bernard Leach. The bottle is made of dark-colored ceramic material with a glossy finish. It has a wide body that tapers slightly towards the top and a small, narrow neck. The surface appears smooth but not perfectly uniform, with some minor imperfections visible. The color transitions from darker at the top to lighter at the bottom. The background of the image is light gray.
