Notes
The bottle is shaped like a donut and made of transparent amethyst grain-shaped glass. It is handcrafted with a marvered blowing rod. It forms an opaque tail with a camouflage decoration with a white effect and is drawn into a feather-shaped pattern. The handles facing the letter S are made of amethyte glass at the shoulder and drawn to the neck. The spherical shape is flat and made like an asymmetrical body that takes the shape of a doughnut. The thin, elongated neck is made to narrow at its base and thus flattens at the shoulder. It is drawn into a long tapering shape with a frame rounded by heating. The base is flat and compressed and contains a link mark for a civil piece that connects the pieces of glass and four glued, raised bubbles, prunts of amethyst glass placed on the sides in the form of antique feet, but they are useless. There are losses. In the neck and body.
