The K&O nasal douche comes in its original, albeit very damaged, cardboard box. The box itself is a slide-in drawer box, containing the glass douche protected by cotton pads on both ends.
The case features decorations and writings on its four large sides, including the top and bottom. On top and bottom sides, there’s an image of the product along with the following inked text: “Nasal Douche K&O, Kress & Owen Company, Manufacturing Chemists, New York.”
On the opposite long lateral side, there are “Special directions for the use of the K.&O. Nasal Douche.” Unfortunately, a piece of cardboard is missing, which prevents complete readability of the text. On the other, "Glyco-thymoline for the throat is used as a gargle, usually diluted one part to three of warm water, or in an atomizer full strength. As a mouth wash and for the teeth, rinse the mouth with a twenty-five per cent. solution and also use on the tooth brush"
The Nasal Douche has an ovoidal shape and is similar to a neti pot, with engraved "K&O Nasal Douche for applying Glyco Thymoline". It consists of a hollow body with a small funnel in the middle and a spout.
