Bottle blown in thick, pale leaf green glass -- with wide funnel mouth and trailed ring beneath, tapered neck with folded in constriction, and body with vertical ribbing formed by pinching the glass. Additional pinched knobs on ribbing and comprising feet. Vessel shows choice silvery-violet iridescence, to blues and light magentas, from subtle to vibrant Intact and perfect, but for two little chips to feet.
