DescriptionFigured flask made of mold-blown olive green glass. The flask has a plain rim, rounded shoulders and body with a flattened profile, and a pontil mark on the bottom. Both sides of the flask have a raised panel, each with a different raised decoration. On one side is a cornucopia, coiled to the left, containing fruit and leaves. On the opposite side is a large, two-handled, footed urn made of six heavy vertical ribs, also containing fruit and leaves. A smooth raised rib outlines the outer edges of the figured flask, between the sides with the raised decoration. The rim has one chip, and there are light scratches and wear on the bottom and on the raised cornucopia decoration.
