This ink bottle is colored “baby blue”. It is a larger size umbrella ink (2 ⅝ diameter; 2 ¾” high). There is a small bruise on the heel – about half the size of a pinky fingernail. There is also a tiny flash on one panel – this could be a bubble that popped. This is a dug and tumbled bottle. One more day of polishing could make it pop. There is still a light haze inside.
