Flask

Baltimore Glass Works

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Amber-colored glass bottle with rounded body, narrowing to a cylindrical neck with a small lip at the top. A circular relief on the body features an ear of corn with the words "CORN FOR THE WORLD" around the edge. The base of the bottle is flat and square. The bottle appears to be old and has some imperfections.
