AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Miniature translucent glass flask of pale green, blown on the moment, with an elongated conical body, ending in a rounded base. The birth of the long cylindrical neck is highlighted by a slight narrowing achieved with a tool. It ends with a flared mouth with a throated lip, folded inward and then irregularly flattened, a more marked support on one side having caused a slight deformation of its profile. The base retains the pontil mark and the glass preserves some fine iridescent traces.
