Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is a black and white photograph of a vase. The vase titled "Bottle" by an unknown artist, is dark-colored, likely black. The vase has a wide, rounded body that tapers to a narrow neck and small opening at the top. The vase appears to be made of ceramic or clay. The background of the image is light gray, with a slight shadow visible beneath the vase. The overall appearance of the vase suggests it may be an older piece.
