DescriptionThis small jar was made of dark blue glass and shaped with blowing and tooling techniques. The rim is rounded and coiled, with a tool mark visible inside. The shoulder slopes unevenly, and the body narrows to form an inverted cone. Two handles were attached while hot; one connects to the neck. The base is coiled and shows a scar from a ring pontil used during production.
