A substantial bottle of blown glass, greenish and slightly bubbly in character, closed with a cork or waxed-cloth stopper—an expensive vessel used by apothecaries, merchants, and wealthy households for storing wine, oil, or medicinal preparations. The thick-walled glass demands careful handling; breakage is costly. Medieval glass carries a slight color and occasional impurity as markers of its handmade origin.
