DescriptionThis pale green bottle from the 3rd–4th century CE has a round body and a narrow neck. The glass is thin and weathered, and a thread of similar glass was added for decoration—one coil sits below the rim and another around the lower neck, with a small buckle where it was applied. The rim is smooth and rounded, the neck narrows at the base, and the body sits on a pushed-in bottom. A pontil mark is visible at the base.
