DescriptionTransparent natural green glass. The exact tint cannot be determined because of weathering. This beaker was free-blown, tooled, and wheel-cut. The glass is medium thin and the fabric cannot be determined due to weathering. The rim is unworked or lightly ground. The upper wall of the body is nearly cylindrical, tapering to a concave base. The exterior has four bands of horizontal incised lines.
