Flask

Dyottville Glass Works

Teal-colored glass bottle with rounded body, short neck. Embossed on the front is an image of a man's head in profile with short hair facing left. Underneath the head is a fish. Surrounding the head and fish is a circle with text that reads "THE FATHER OF CLEAN COURTS". The glass bottle has small black speckles throughout. The background of the image is gray. The bottle appears to be an antique Flask by Dyottville Glass Works.
