DescriptionThis object is a molded, bluish-green glass flask. The shape of the flask's body resembles a pear, with several decorative raised scroll patterns across the front and the back. Vertical glass ribs are visible running the length of the bottle's sides. The object has a relatively small base that expands to form the bottom portions of the bottle. Small air bubbles and other impurities are visible from within the glass material, but the object is in good physical condition.
