DescriptionThis carinated bowl (Isings Form 96a; Vessberg A IIa) was free-blown and tooled from transparent natural green glass, though its exact tint cannot be determined due to weathering. Made from medium thin glass, it features an everted, lightly ground rim and a carinated body with its maximum diameter located near the base. The base itself is flat. CLASSIFICATION: Isings 1957, Form 96 a (variation?); Vessberg 1952, Beakers A IIa.
