I have a different bottle to that listed. It is shaped like a chrismas tree at first glance. It has a rounded corner one side and straight on the other. Its dimensions are 10cm tall by 7.3 cm wide [or 4 inches x 4 inches]. Totally clear with the only colour being silver on the lid. All the markings are the same as listed. Can anyone help me with some more detail?
