Figured bottle by Loetz. Clear glass bottle with a teardrop shape and a long neck. The bottle has a wide, rounded body that tapers to a narrow neck with a small, square lip. The glass is clear but has a slight blue-green tint. The body of the bottle features an etched design depicting two people. The background of the image is gray, transitioning from dark at the top to light at the bottom.
