DescriptionThis inverted conical beaker on a base ring is made of thin, transparent decolored glass with a light olive gray tinge (5 Y 6/1). The glass contains a few small bubbles. The vessel was free-blown and wheel cut, with no pontil mark visible. The rim is lightly ground. The straight walls taper down to a concave domed base with a narrow pushed-in base ring. Three bands of horizontal wheel-cut incisions decorate the body. The shape aligns with Isings 1957, Form 34.
