Mould-blown from transparent clear glass, tall hexagonal body with diagonal ribs, a squat concave shoulder with a slender cylindrical neck broken-off, a flat hexagonal base with pontil mark. Two loop handles, sometimes described as dolphin handles, at the base of the neck. Some encrustation and pearlesence to the interior, two hairline cracks to the base of the neck and across the shoulder, otherwise intact.
