About this work
A square, blown and molded glass bottle with a gold-colored pendant flanked by sprigs of flowers hangs from a pink ribbon. The interior of the pendant is marked, <i>FL: TILIAE</i> with the alchemical symbol for water (aqua). The opaque white color of the glass comes from the addition of tin oxide and was meant to imitate porcelain.
