DescriptionThis bottle is comprised of transparent, blue-colored glass. It has a large, circular base and a gradual shoulder that narrows into the bottle's neck. A hand-bent rim is visible at the top of the object, and a "punt" or bump is visible at the bottom of the object. The exterior of the bottle is covered in diagonal ridges, made from twisting the glass from within a fluted mold as it cooled. Small air bubbles are visible from within the glass itself.
