Did You Know?

The title of this work translates to mermaids and frogs carafe.
A tan glass stopper tapers upward to a fine point, its conical surface marked by narrow vertical ridges. Below this fluted topper, a short, smooth neck leads to a wider, frosted white cylindrical base that tapers downward. The upper section's warm finish contrasts with the matte, ground-glass texture of the lower plug. This symmetrical object maintains a precise vertical alignment across its distinct textural shifts.
