Description Notes

Beaker, from the Howard Glassware Collection, believed to have been used to distill perfume oil, 1950s.

Near the pouring lip is a maker's mark giving the name "Monax", as well as a possible country name of "Scotland" below it, though it is too faded to be truly legible. Lip has a spout to aid with pouring out liquid.
