DescriptionThis glass bowl, made in the 1st century CE, has a rounded rim, uneven curved sides, and a pushed-in base with a solid ring. It was formed by blowing and tooling, and has small bubbles stretched toward the rim. A circular scar is visible on the underside, and a collar was cut out just below the rim.
