Cut glass with pierced silver cover (with frame and four more glass bottles with silver covers and three bottle labels, see M.4-1948, M.4.1-1948, M.4.2 & A-1948, M.4.3 & A-1948, M.4.5 & A-1948, M.4.6 & A-1948, M.4.7-1948, M.4.8-1948, and M.4.9-1948)
Glass, blown and cut. The baluster-shaped bottle stands on a spreading circular foot. It is cut with a geometric pattern of triangles, hexagons and zigzags. Attached to the rim is a silver mount. The pull-off silver cover has a narrow gadrooned rim below the ogee-shaped dome, which is embossed and chased with scrolls decorated with a chevron pattern and pierced with small circular holes. This is sumounted by a shaped-square finial.
