Caster Bottle c. 1936

Ralph Atkinson's "Caster Bottle" from c. 1936 is a watercolor painting of a glass bottle. The bottle is made up of different sections, each with its own unique design. The top of the bottle features a fluted rim, while the middle section has a swirling pattern. The bottom of the bottle is smooth and clear. The artwork is a simple yet elegant depiction of a common household object. Atkinson's use of light and shadow creates a realistic representation of the glass, making the artwork appear almost three-dimensional.
