Bottle

Charles Caseau

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a large ceramic jug with a handle on the left and intricate floral decoration near the top, labeled "TROY W.VA. POTTERY." The jug is predominantly in shades of brown with lighter highlights and darker shadowed areas, giving it a mottled appearance. Next to the jug, in the upper right corner, there is a smaller depiction of a similar ceramic bottle with a slender form. Both objects sit against a plain, light-colored background. The main jug is positioned centrally with its handle facing left, and the smaller bottle is in the top right, vertically aligned.
