DescriptionThis vessel is made of thin, transparent natural pale green glass. It was formed by free blowing and tooling, and lacks a pontil mark. The broad tubular rim is horizontally outsplayed, folded inward, and flattened. The tall neck tapers slightly upward and narrows at the junction with the body. The bell-shaped body makes up approximately one-fifth of the total height. The bottom is recessed and flat.
