Image DESCRIPTION

This tall wine bottle has a flat base and a wide body tapering to a thin neck. Most of the surface is greenish gray, and the texture is smooth and glossy. The bottle has a transparent glaze encrusted with a delicate web of thin cracks. The area around the mouth of the bottle is shiny gold. On one side of the neck is a small loop which is also gold. The bottle is decorated in three places around its circumference with a chrysanthemum design. Winding upward on the body is a thin black stem, black leaves and circles of tiny white petals. Just below the neck, a thin, flowery pattern of white encircles the bottle.
