DescriptionBlown colorless lead glass smelling bottle in the shape of a sea horse. The smelling bottle is made from a hollow tube of glass, with a cylindrical neck above a slight bulge that narrows and curves tightly around itself. Extra pieces of glass have been applied at the sides and then tooled, giving texture to each edge. There is a chip in the edge of the glass, at the opposite end from the neck.
