Crafted in glowing custard glass (creamy ivory/opalescent uranium glass that fluoresces bright green under blacklight/UV-ideal for collectors and dramatic display), it features an elegant pear-shaped hobnail body (raised bumps evoking nautilus shell ridges), a gracefully curved handle, flared pouring spout, and a tall, pointed conch/whelk seashell finial stopper with ribbed texture and subtle golden sheen. Hand painted gold gilt accents beautifully outline the coral/seaweed branching motifs on the lower body, with likely green enamel highlights on foliage sea details-adding whimsical nautical flair with authentic age patina. the original stopper fits securely (no chips or major loss), a rare survival for these delicate pieces.
