Richards and Hartley Flint Glass Co.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The object is a cylindrical container made of glass with a bronze-colored metal lid on top. The glass body is light green and features rows of raised, circular bumps covering its surface. The lid appears to be slightly tarnished and has a small knob at its center. The background of the image is a gradient of gray, transitioning from dark at the top to light at the bottom. A shadow is cast to the right of the container.
