DescriptionThis green glass jar has a rounded body, two side handles, and a third handle arching over the top like a basket handle. The base is deeply concave and pushed inward. A zigzag thread with twenty-six angled sections wraps around the body’s middle, with three more loops spiraling above it. A separate coil encircles the neck just below the rim.
