This toilet bottle could be associated with the Isings form 6 and De Tommaso type 7. These small bottles are among the earliest known blown glass. The everted rim seems to distinguish examples made in Italy and the western Mediterranean provinces from those of the Eastern Mediterranean, on which the rim is usually folded in the form of a flange.
