A small, blue glass amphora-like vessel with decorative black-and-yellow striping, shown on a white display mount.
The image shows a compact glass vessel resembling a miniature amphora or bottle form, with a rounded body narrowing toward a pointed tip. The surface is decorated with curving and linear painted or fused bands: dark/black striping and a zigzag/yellow pattern around the body, plus horizontal blue bands near the neck/shoulder. A small projecting handle-like form is visible on the left side, while the right end tapers to a rounded point with a small knob/finial. The object rests in a molded white support on a grey background. A small rectangular label card is present at the bottom center with handwritten markings that are not clearly readable at this resolution.
