Teardrop-shaped perfume bottle in molded milk glass with a high percentage of crystal that lends it an unusual shine. The decoration is not easy to identify: on both sides, it appears, are two eyes and a monstrous mouth, and lower down, two scenes from Aesop’s fable: “The Fox and the Stork.” The scenes are framed by a leafy frame. Around the neck, there is a festoon decoration just below the silver band from which hangs a chain that secures the cap.
