Description This glass jar has a pale green tint and was shaped by blowing and tooling techniques. The rim is rounded and wrapped in a coil. The tall neck curves inward before meeting a gently sloped shoulder. The body has straight walls that narrow toward the base. The base is concave and features a raised hollow ring. Two handles, made from matching glass, are attached from the shoulder to the rim.
