This antique mold-blown glass whiskey flask dates to around 1900 and features a distinctive diagonal swirl pattern. The piece retains its original cork-style neck and exhibits air bubbles typical of early mold production. The rich amethyst hue results from later irradiation of manganese-based glass, a common decolorizing agent used before 1915. A striking example of late 19th century glass craftsmanship.

Displays beautifully in a vintage barware, apothecary, or rustic decor setting.
