DescriptionThis small jar is made of pale green glass with a thick blue-green handle that arches over the top like a basket handle. The body is rounded and narrows toward the base, which is concave and kicked inward. Two side handles extend from just below the shoulder to the rim, where they attach with small folded joins. The glass contains many tiny air bubbles, especially in the handle.
