Glass perfume bottle
Colorless with blue green tinge.
Tubular rim folded down, over, and in, and pressed into everted mouth; cylindrical neck flaring downward, with irregular shape at top from tooling; broad, almost flat body, with convex side, curving out and downward; pushed-in bottom with central kick and large pontil mark.
Complete except for about half of rim and mouth, and internal cracks in body; some pinprick bubbles; dulling, iridescence, and patches of creamy brown weathering.
This unusually large bottle with its broad, shallow body, belongs to a type that is often called the ‘candlestick unguentarium.’
