DescriptionFree-blown cylindrical box made of transparent grayish blue glass. The vessel has very thin walls with a few small spherical bubbles. It features straight sides with a tooled fillet near the bottom and a shallow convex base. The rim is ground and has a tall, vertical lip with a projecting collar marking the transition to the base. The bottom is tooled to form a concave center with an open, pushed-out base ring. Two faint wheel-cut lines are present on the lip: one 2 mm below the rim and a second 1.9 cm below. The lid is missing.
