Double gourd bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Double gourd bottle by artist. The bottle has two connected bulbous sections, the lower one larger than the upper. The lower section is rounded and wide, while the upper section tapers to a narrow neck with a small opening at the top. The bottle features a blue and white color scheme. The blue color forms an intricate floral pattern covering the entire surface of both bulbous sections. The background of the pattern is white. The bottle appears to be made of ceramic or porcelain. It has a glossy finish. The bottle is displayed against a gray gradient background.
