    I will have to do some repair on the top of this bottle because the cork has come off.
    But it's a lovely vegetable of some type (I am just calling it a squash) with delicate carving of the leaves wrapping themselves around it.
    It appears to have two overlays - one of cobalt blue and a second one that is a very dark green that appears almost black.
    The glass stopper just completes it! You can see how they used a form inside the stopper.

      I was going to say maybe a gourd but I don't think they have leaves around the stem generally. Cool piece.

      Racer4Four - you're probably right and it's supposed to be a gourd.
