Alt Text
A three-dimensional model of a decorative glass bottle colored with waves of dark and light blue. The vessel is an elongated cylinder with a rounded bottom, meaning it cannot stand on its own. A narrower but also cylindrical neck is seen attached slightly off-center at the top of the bottle. The rim of the bottle is thick, a bit uneven, and slightly wider in diameter than the neck but not quite as wide as the body. 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.
