Abstract
Rectangular body is decorated on three sides with a plant motif in which a central stalk supports fourteen berries arrayed along either side of the stalk. The back side is flat and undecorated. A cylindrical neck rises from the square shoulders and supports a rim which is finished by rolling the edge to the inside. A broad, flat handle attaches to the rim at the undecorated back side and falls at a right angle to reattach just below the shoulder. The pontil mark is evident at the indentation at the base. The bottle is free-standing.

A three-dimensional model of a tall, narrow bottle made of glass that has a square cross-section. On three of the vessel's four sides are decorative elements consisting of a long, vertical line in the middle and several round object branching off from it, possibly intended to represent a sprouting tree or another plant. The bottle's fourth side is flat, with a handle attached at the top of this side that connects to the lip at the top of the vessel's narrower, cylindrical neck. 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.
