DescriptionThis bottle is made of medium thin glass with small vertically elongated bubbles visible in the body. The glass is translucent to transparent with a manganese tint. The vessel was free-blown and tooled with no pontil mark.
The hollow rim is folded outward, upward, inward, downward, and then flattened. The short neck flares slightly and transitions smoothly into a sloping shoulder. The cylindrical body has slightly convex walls. The base is flattened with a central depression.
