DescriptionFlask made of blown aquamarine glass. The flask has a plain rim and a slightly tapered neck, a flat, pointed, ovoid shape, and a pontil mark on the narrow bottom. The flask does not stand upright. One side of the flask has the remnants of the right edge of a rectangular paper label. Some writing in black ink is visible, but only the letter "E" is legible. There are many scratches on the opposite side of the flask from the label, and on the bottom, around the pontil mark.
