Description

A glass jug with a ribbed, rounded body set on a low foot, a tall flared neck and a rim that flares outward. A handle rises from the rim and curves down to the shoulder, with a twisted, ribbed upper section. The jug stands against a plain grey backdrop, and its surface is clouded and weathered with dark mottling and small bubbles.
