Physical DescriptionClear, yellow-green glass with white canes and aqua blue applications; blown, applied. Globular flask with very long tapering neck and low pushed in “kick.” The flask has been decorated with 18 vertical plain threads of opaque-white, completely marvered in on the body, but standing proud of the surface on the shoulder and neck. Rim fire-polished. Two horizontal applied and cast-off aqua-blue threads on the neck have been tooled into a waved design. Large rough pontil-mark under base; the white canes end on a sheared-off line underneath the pontil mark.Provenance
