An amber-yellow glass vessel has a pear-shaped body and a long neck flaring into a wide rim. A dark green handle curves from rim to shoulder, finished with a glass knob. The surface is heavily weathered with dark brown and black encrustations, creating a mottled, earthy texture. The translucent glass transitions from clear at the neck to a densely clouded lower half, where dark patches spread like shadows across the base.
