Physical DescriptionBottle. Light green glass; free blown. Small bottle. The body of the piece, from the base up to the widest part of shoulder, has four flattened planes and rounded corners. The dull, sea-green translucent glass is coated by a rough, pockmarked pearly iridescent coating, which has heavy deterioration. On the interior is a brown encrustation. The base has a wide but shallow indentation. The walls of the base of the vessel are rounded, the body is short and squat. The shoulder is gradualy and not pronounced, and runs into a wide neck. The rim rolls inward thickly; it is pressed on the interior and meets the inner wall of the neck of the vessel created a wide swell in the area of the mouth. Its inner join is not smoothed.
