Glass bottle and two stoppers in the form of three pebbles balancing, with an inner peg, one on top of the other. The top pebble has been carved with linear decoration, while the lower two pebbles have been sandblasted to give a matt finish.
The glass is made in more than one piece and each section is attached by reheating - in order to achieve the necessary size. The pegs are glued with a refractory glue.
