Technical Description
A fine example of a 19th-century Nailsea glass flask with pink and white pulled decoration. The pink and white would have been pulled seperately and then the flask cased in clear glass. A rough pontil completes the piece with its original cork stopper. These flasks are popular and we often sell fine examples...however, this particular vibrant colour combination is rare.
