Abstract
Teardrop-shaped bottle has a flattened bottom with a slight indentation but no palpable pontil mark. The rim is in-folded unevenly and flattened. The cylindrical neck widens to form the body. The neck has been broken and repaired. The diameter of the neck does not fit the diameter of the body at the break site.

A three-dimensional model of a small, teardrop-shaped glass bottle with a narrow neck and a slightly wider base. The lip at the bottle's opening appears to be approximately the same diameter as the base and is flattened. The bottle has been broken at the neck and from this break, the viewer can see that the layer of glass that made up the neck was quite thick, which is not immediately obvious when viewed solely from the outside. 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.
