Description

A tall glass vessel with a narrow neck, a flared rim and two small handles on the shoulder, standing on a short knob foot against a plain grey backdrop. The body is decorated with wavy white trails and dark bands in regular patterns, and the rim is chipped with a break and loss on the lower body. A printed measuring scale stands along the left edge beside it.
