The overall silhouette is elegantly vertical: wide and sturdy at the base, tapering to a narrow, refined neck, accented with a single molded collar ring and a slightly flared rim designed for pouring ease. The spherical ball stopper has deep cut-glass facets arranged in a starburst pattern that echoes the vertical cuts of the body and adds jewel-like refraction.

Minor surface marks and occasional air bubbles are present, consistent with the authentic character of 19th-century glass. See less
