DescriptionThis is a blown glass urn with blue, red, black and gray irregular splotches. It is a squat rounded form with a horse hair acting as a rope clasp in a zigzag pattern. The zigzag is created by alternating black glass knobs on the lid and urn body; each knob is approximately two inches apart.
