DescriptionTransparent light blue glass with some acid-etched areas on recessed portions to create frosted appearance. Mold-blown(?) body with arched form and crisp areas of design: three squared and flat polished areas alternate with three deep-relief geometric designs on the two flattened faces and at the sides of the bottle. Stopper is also translucent light blue glass with short cylindrical end that is unpolished; finial has deigns that echo those on bottle: rounded top, recessed designs, and squared flat polished areas. Overall feel of Art Deco style.
