Description

Six blown glass bottles stand in a row on a plain grey surface, each with a narrow neck, a flared rim and a rounded or teardrop-shaped body, and they differ in height. The glass is weathered, with dark and whitish patches and crusty encrustation on the surfaces. Handwritten numbers are written along the lower edge of the print, outside the objects.
