Description

Approximately 2 1/2" tall with top measuring 1 1/2". This is called an "eye cup" and was my grandmothers. If you had pink eye or an eye infection, they would put eye medicine in it, hold it up to your eye, tilt your head back and the solution would wash your eye out. (not literally) Fits around the eye. It is blue glass but no name or id on it. I'm over 70 and it was used on me when I was a child.
