Free-blown in translucent, deep yellow glass,
with applied moss-green handles. The elegant,
elongated piriform body rises from an applied
foot which spreads out and slightly downward.
Towards the bottom of the cylindrical neck,
which flares to a wider mouth, are two applied
handles, their contrasting-coloured glass runs
down either side of the body in two pinched
ribbons, pontil mark to the base. Intact, some
iridescence to the interior.
