DescriptionThis bottle was formed by blowing glass into a mold to create its square shape and decorative base. The bottle has a tall neck with a wide folded rim, and a flat handle connects the neck to the shoulder. Raised circular designs are visible on the underside. Weathering on the surface has obscured the original color of the pale green glass.
