Description

Dozens of glass vessels stand on three tiered shelves against a dark background. Tall bottles with narrow necks, globular flasks, small jugs with handles and footed cups fill the upper and middle rows. The lowest row holds small bottles, jugs and bowls, with a few long thin objects laid across the front. Surfaces look iridescent and weathered.
