Bottle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The bottle, by an unknown artist, is a white vase with a bulbous body and narrow neck. The vase has a wide, rounded base that tapers up to a narrower middle section, then flares out slightly at the top to form a small opening. The body of the vase is bulbous, resembling a teardrop shape. The vase appears to be made of ceramic or porcelain and has a glossy finish. The background is a gradient gray color, with the vase casting a shadow on the surface below it.
