A greenish glass bottle with a narrow neck and flared rim, shown in a studio-style view against a neutral background.
The object appears to be a translucent, pale green glass bottle. It has a short, narrow neck rising into a slightly everted (flared) rim with a rounded lip. The shoulder transitions into a bulbous body. A single vertical handle-like element is visible on each side of the neck/upper body area, forming a strap-and-knuckle style shape, though details of attachment are unclear due to the smooth, glass-only surfaces. No painted decoration, relief, or carved inscriptions are visible. The body shows faint surface striations/scuffs and a slight unevenness consistent with old glass manufacture and age.
