DescriptionThis conical beaker was made from medium thin glass. Blowing spirals remain visible on the surface. The fabric cannot be determined because of weathering. The glass is transparent natural pale green (5 G 7/2). The vessel is free-blown with a pontil mark measuring approximately 1.2 cm. It has a tall flaring rim, rounded and thickened in flame, with a tool mark visible on the interior. The straight-walled body broadens toward the base. The base is flattened with a central depression.
