Description

A small jug of sand-core glass shown on its own against a plain pale background. It has a single loop handle rising from the shoulder to a pinched, lipped mouth, a rounded body and a low ring foot. The dark body carries light zigzag and wavy trails and several horizontal bands, and the surface looks worn in places.
