Greetings to all friends of G.m.b.
I have been in possession of this lacrimator for a few years since I was sold. A.C. of Syrian origin at a price that I frankly today judges excessive (more than 700 euros). What do your experts think?
Thank you all for your attention

Is it glass, Giulissa? Looking at what appears to be crazing around the inside rim I thought it was pottery?

The small Syrian vessel is certainly glass because the pontil, small as the base of the jar is simply cut and you see it is glass. It seems more like a mold inside the item, so the interior is very dirty of sand and clay and this gives the impression of ceramics.
