A small jar of free-blown, translucent, amber-colored glass. The vessel has a short stem and a spreading foot. The rim is flaring and three handles attach it to the shoulder. The body is covered with large bubbles. A pontil mark appears on the underside. Some light weathering has given parts of the vessel a white and purple iridescence.
