DescriptionThis green glass jar was shaped by blowing and tooling. It has a funnel-shaped neck, a sloping shoulder, and a rounded body that is widest near the top. Two differently shaped handles rise from the shoulder and attach to the rim, one forming a folded loop. The base is ringed and slightly kicked in at the center. Marks from the shaping tools and production process are still visible.
