DescriptionThe bottle is made of medium thin glass. The fabric cannot be determined because of weathering. The glass is transparent natural green, but the exact color cannot be determined due to weathering. The vessel was free-blown with no pontil mark. The rim is folded outward, upward, inward, and downward. The mouth is funnel-shaped. The short neck is concave and transitions to a sloping shoulder without a bulge. The cylindrical body tapers slightly toward the base. The base is flattened with a slight central depression.
