A transparent, light brown molded glass bottle with irregular, jagged geometric shapes and angles, a narrow, short neck, and a flared stopper, resembling crinkled paper wrapped around an object and tied with a band near the top. The coloration of the faceted glass varies throughout, though generally lighter at the bottom and darker above the neck. The glass appears substantially weighted and bottom of the bottle is flat. Though called a 'toilet bottle,' it is intended for cologne, or eau de toilette (toilet water).
