Free-blown transparent colourless glass, the squared-off body indented on all four sides, a curved shoulder rising to a constricted neck, a flaring rim with an inward-folded lip. The square base slightly pushed in, with pontil mark.
The interior covered in pearlescence, the exterior with a thin layer of iridescence. Some annealing flaws, particularly to one side of the base, otherwise intact.
