Bottle for a water pipe (huqqa)
The bottle for a water pipe, also known as a huqqa, has a bulbous brown body with a blue and white circular floral design on the front. The neck of the bottle tapers upward and then flares out slightly at the top, forming a short cylindrical opening. There are three raised rings around the neck, just below the opening. The top portion of the neck and the rings have blue floral designs on a white background. The lower portion of the neck has a white band with blue designs above and below it. The background of the image is a plain off-white color.
