This blown and molded square-shaped bottle has a narrow neck for pouring liquids. The oval shaped white enamel shield is framed with red and yellow "c" scrolls. Atop the shield is a yellow sun, with its eyes, brows, nose, and mouth in black. Orange and yellow rays flare out from the sun’s surface. The mark in the center of the shield is BUTYR ANTIM which is also known as Butyrum Antimonii or Butter of Antimony.
