Notes:

This beautifully intact, colorless glass toilet bottle was finely shaped, and decorated by wheel grinding. The body is roughly cylindrical, with six arrow-head-shaped designs around the middle. The middle section of the body is set off from the neck and base by two deep grooves. The base is ground flat for stability, and curves inward before it flares out to meet the body. The shoulders slope upward to the funnel-shaped neck, which has six incised facets. The fabric is cloudy from weathering, and translucent, but only barely discernable patches of pitting & iridescence exist. Free blown and cut of transparent colorless glass.
