Antique, sheared lip, “boat ink” glass bottle with indentations for two pens with unusual color markings against a green background. The bottle has swathes of striated coloration on about one-half of the bottle. Unable to determine if this unusual coloration is inside or outside of the glass. It has an outer sheen of cloudiness. When the striated lines are held to the light, it shows iridescence. Otherwise, it shows an orange-red pattern. The bottle is free from cracks or chips.
