DescriptionThis jar was shaped by blowing hot glass and shaping it with tools. Its rounded body and narrow neck are topped with a carefully folded rim. A single handle curves from the body to the rim, with an added decorative tail just above the base. The jar's pale green glass contains tiny bubbles from the blowing process.
