    This little bottle has pros and cons. The bad thing is it's a bit lopsided!
    But there are some good things.
    It's well hollowed out. The opening is concave and that is usually a sign that the bottle is older.
    And then on the overlay, at first I thought it was just one overlay and that parts are darker because the glass is thicker, but the more I look at it, the more I think there was a light layer of green applied and then a darker shade of green on top. So it "appears" to have two glass layers.

      Very intense relief on this.

      haha yes it is racer4four, and you would expect to feel sharp edges because it's glass but that's not the case at all. The glass is smooth, even along the sharp points and fun to hold surprisingly.

      A great piece of cameo glass for sure.
