DescriptionThis glass bowl is made of transparent pale green glass. It was formed by free-blowing and tooling. A ring pontil scar, approximately 2.1 cm in diameter, is visible on the underside.
The rim was rounded in the flame. The straight sides bend inward and downward to form an interior shelf approximately 1.3 cm below the rim. Below the shelf, the sides taper slightly toward a concave base.
