DescriptionThis inverted conical beaker was formed from medium thin, transparent natural pale green glass (5 G 7/2). The beaker was made by free-blowing and tooling, with a lightly ground rim. Small bubbles are present in the glass. There is no pontil mark visible. The inverted conical body rests on a concave base. The upper half of the body is decorated with seven horizontal bands of wheel-cut incisions.
