Description

A small, round-bodied glass flask with a tall flared neck and rim, shown against a plain grey backdrop. The body is moulded with a human face framed by curling hair, with the features in relief on the glass. The glass is slightly clouded and dusty in places, and the base is a thick, flattened foot.
