Free-blown feeder flask of pale green glass. The body is rounded with a long, slender neck that terminates in a flaring mouth. On one side of the body is a small, conical spout. Heavy weathering has given the vessel a marbled brown and cream colored appearance. A small chip is missing from the end of the spout.
