A silver bottle cover features a smooth cylindrical base with a scalloped bottom edge. Above, the cover is sculpted into organic, bulbous forms resembling a cluster of fruit, with a thick, textured stem projecting from the center. The polished silver surface is highly reflective, casting bright highlights and dark shadows across its undulating curves and folds.
