DescriptionA large vessel with a U-shaped profile that has been squeezed to have a narrow and flattened appearance. The glass on the exterior is colorful, with swirls of vibrant red, orange, and yellow mixed with black, white, and gray. The overall finish is matte rather than glossy, and some open-air bubbles are visible on the exterior surface at the mouth. The interior of the vessel is colorless glass. The base has been ground to sit flat.
