DescriptionA small, free-blown glass bottle made of light purple glass. The vessel features two applied handles connecting the neck to the shoulder. A white spiral thread decorates the body and neck; this thread is marvered into the body at the bottom and only partly marvered at the top, while the thread on the neck is not marvered. The bottle has a flattened spherical body and a neck that flares outward at its junction with the shoulder.
