Alt Text

A three-dimensional model of a tall, narrow, glass bottle with a slightly flared top and a wider, teardrop-shaped body. The shape of the bottle is not entirely smooth, with a slight inward pinching seen where the body connects to the neck, and the entire vessel leans slightly when sitting on its base. 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.
