DescriptionRound-bodied jar with cylindrical neck and flaring rim. Two vertical, double-pinched lug handles. The spongy appearance is due to air bubbles within the glass, which were formed by vigorously mixing the hot glass with salts (sodium carbonate or bicarbonate), which releases gases.”This vase is cylindrical in shape with two doughnut shaped handles located at its midsection.
