拍品資料及來源

The present blown glass bottle has a typial fire polish to the interior, while the mouth exhibits the evenness of lapidary tools. Unusually for a blown glass bottle, there are no air bubbles detectable here, even with a strong light and magnifying glass. It is a piece of glass as pure and flawless as any in the collection.
