A hand-blown clear glass claret jug / flask, just over 9 inches tall. The body is of oval section with a flattened spherical body, a loop handle and a drip ring to the neck which is set at an angle with the lowest point at the handle end. At it lowest point there is a hole drilled into the body. The reason for the hole is that any drops of wine which spill from the lip when pouring will be channelled back into the body. Unmarked, but the base has a polished pontil.
