This piece is executed in Red Brecciated Jasper, a stone prized for its complex matrix of sedimentary fragments and iron-rich coloration. The bottle is of flattened ovoid form with a flat foot and cylindrical neck, retaining its original domed stopper and spoon.

The surface exhibits a pleasing natural polish. The prominent diagonal striation visible in the photos is a geological feature of the brecciated stone, confirming its natural origin, and is not a structural defect.

Size: 2.5 inches high. Weight: 2.4 oz.
