Printed in red on the cardboard lid is: "Wash the bottle, return promptly, Pure fresh milk and cream." On the side is embossed "half pint" and an oval. There are mold seams on opposite sides that extend from the bottom up to but not over the lip. There are horizontal seams at the bottom and at the lip.
