DescriptionBlown olive-amber glass bottle with a wicker cover. The bottle (a) has an applied, sloping lip, a gradually widening neck, a rounded body, and a shallow kick on the bottom. The bottle is covered from the neck down with a woven wicker cover. To one side, a twisted wicker handle connects the neck and widest point of the bottle. A tapered cork (b) fits into the neck of the bottle. The wicker cover is brittle and badly damaged. On the body of the bottle, below the widest point, are areas of major loss to the wicker cover.
