This piece of pottery has a wide round body with a short thin neck. On one side of the bottle, Voulkos portrayed a bull with lines of dark brown glaze against a light gray background. The bull is composed of geometrical shapes. Its body is depicted as a rectangle and made up of vertical and horizontal lines. The bull's legs are comprised of two circles and four vertical lines, protruding from the bottom of both circles. The bull is positioned so the head is on the left and the tail is on the right. On the opposite side of the bottle is a second bull, outlined in white lines and set against a brown background. The second bull's body is outlined in white filled with dots. Exhibition Label Copy the most recent text made for a exhibition didactic label Bull Bottle is not what one would expect from the hand of Peter Voulkos, the brawny potter known for bodily assaulting and pounding huge slabs of clay into sculptural forms. Pre-dating the influence of so-called action painting by Abstract Expressionist painters Willem de Kooning and Franz Kline, which would come to mark Voulkos's later work, Bull Bottle is refined and restrained. An important example of his early work, the bottle has a pleasing shape and spirited depictions of bulls from which it takes its name. The conventional form honors the tradition in which Voulkos was trained - and would blow wide open in a few short years.

Through asymmetry and the use of slab cutouts normally discarded on the studio floor, Voulkos produced thoroughly original forms that broke down the traditional divisions between art and craft. 'Vase' was acquired by the Minnesota Museum of American Art through one of its 'Fiber–Clay–Metal' biennials, which the museum organized between 1952 and 1964 and for which Voulkos served as a juror in 1964.
