DescriptionThis green glass jar has an ovoid body, a narrow neck, and a wide handle arching over the top like a basket handle. The base is ring-shaped and pushed inward. The sides of the basket handle also serve as vertical handles that attach from the shoulder to the rim, with small folds where they meet the rim. The neck is wrapped in six loops of glass thread, and the surface shows tool marks and air bubbles from its making.
