Artist, American, active c. 1935

The image shows a large, transparent glass bottle with a cylindrical neck and a flat, wide body that tapers slightly towards the top. The bottle has a subtle yellowish-brown tint, giving it an antique appearance. The background is a plain, light beige color, and the bottle is centrally positioned in the image, standing upright with its base near the bottom-center. Soft reflections and highlights on the glass surface suggest a light source from the left side.
