DescriptionMade of medium thin, transparent natural green glass. The vessel was free-blown and shaped using tooling techniques. It has no pontil mark. The broad hollow rim is outsplayed horizontally, folded inward, and roughly flattened. The tall, cylindrical neck features a tooling mark at its base. The bell-shaped body constitutes about one-quarter of the total height. The base is flat and recessed.
