DescriptionThis multiple bottle is free-blown and tooled from medium thin transparent natural grayish green glass (5 G 5/2); the fabric cannot be determined because of weathering. The vessel has no visible pontil mark. Its rim is rounded in flame and flattened inward, leading to a tall tubular neck with a curved transition to the shoulder. The bulbous body has its greatest diameter at the middle and is divided vertically into four separate compartments, ending in a slightly flattened base.
