DescriptionThis jug was made of olive-colored glass shaped in a mold and finished by hand. It has a cylindrical body with vertical ridges, a single handle, and a small stone trapped in the shoulder during production. A thread of glass wraps once around the neck, and the handle was added on top of it. The rim and mouth were shaped using tools after blowing.
