Description

A round-bodied glass flask with a tall, narrow neck that flares slightly at the rim, with a small pinched lip or handle-like projection on one side. The glass is iridescent and weathered, with dark patches and pale crusting over the body. A number label is painted on the lower body, and the vessel stands on a small support against a plain grey backdrop.
