A pale green glass jar features a bulbous body and wide, flared neck. Dark green glass handles arch from rim to shoulder in a series of wavy, zigzagging loops, alongside a thick vertical handle. The translucent glass is heavily weathered, speckled with crusty white and brown mineral deposits over a matte texture. Small patches of brilliant iridescence shimmer through the aged surface, where the original green occasionally emerges from behind the cloudy deposits.
