DescriptionThis flask is made of medium thin glass that was likely transparent, although its exact color cannot be determined because of weathering. It is free-blown and tooled, with a circular pontil scar on the base about 2.0 cm in diameter. The rim is outsplayed horizontally and folded inward. The tall, cylindrical neck has a toolmark and a slight constriction at its base. The squat, conical body sits on a flat bottom with a central depression.
