DescriptionThis green glass jar features a rounded upper section and a more cylindrical lower section. The neck flares outward and leads to a sloping shoulder. Three handles connect the upper body to the rim, curving slightly inward. A thread coil wraps the rim, and small oval indentations run diagonally across the lower portion of the body. The base is concave with a pushed-in center.
