Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a white ceramic vase by artist Bottle. The vase has a bulbous body with a narrow neck and a small opening at the top. The vase has a short, circular base. There are black dots and lines painted on the vase, which appear to be a form of decoration. The background of the image is dark gray, with a slight shadow underneath the vase. The vase is centered in the image and takes up most of the space.
