Tall six-sided bottle, with lid (part b). Each side has a panel with three images - the top and bottom generally feature a building, sometimes with a large bird. The centre image is a framed machine. The edges and top of the bottom are decorated in blue - repeating V's creating a vine, and small repeating arches around the mouth. The lid has a ceramic handle painted to appear metallic. Around the handle reads, '1906-1990 IVAR KAROLUS LUNDGREN'. The artist's signature is on the base.
