Abstract
Teardrop-shaped bottle has a flattened bottom with a minor indentation but no palpable pontil mark. The vessel is free-standing although it lists. The neck and rim appear to be built up: evidence of repair material can be seen on the outside of the neck. The same material was used to create the rim. The long cylindrical neck dominates the profile of the vessel. The slender teardrop shape of the body begins below the midpoint of the bottle.

The 3D model can be freely moved, rotated, and zoomed in and out to allow the viewer to inspect the object from multiple angles. A small, still image of the object is also included, with the object against a white background and a measurement scale in centimeters below it.
