AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Very large bottle in greenish translucent glass with a squat spherical body and horizontal shoulder, the base is flattened and concave in its center.
The body and neck have very fine circular incisions ground down, barely visible on several levels.
The truncated conical neck is narrow at the base and has a mouth with a collar and a flat lip. This is formed by folding the parison downwards, then upwards and then outwards and flattened to form a projecting horizontal rim.
Magnificent traces of partial iridescence of silver and bluish color at the neck and body, presence of earthy deposits on the entire glass.
