DescriptionMold-blown barber bottle made of colorless and opal glass. The barber bottle has a thick rim, a straight neck with undulating sides, a globular body, and a round foot with a shallow kick. The colorless glass body is decorated with an imbedded pattern of opal white glass flowers and branches. The pattern melds into a group of twisted white lines running up the neck, to the nearly solid opaque white rim. There are eight small spots of an unknown black substance on the top edge of the rim.
