Description

A single blown glass vessel stands upright on a pale surface, with a flared, slightly broken rim, a narrow cylindrical neck and a long, rounded body that tapers toward a flat base. The glass is greyish and shows pitting, streaks and darker weathered patches on the body. A soft shadow falls to the right against the plain grey backdrop.
