DescriptionThis is a small carinated bowl made of opaque red glass. It was cast and rotary-polished on both surfaces, with cutting on the exterior. The base ring was cast as part of the vessel. The bowl has an almost horizontal rim with a flat edge, a carinated side with two convex curves, a concave upperside of the floor, and a very slightly convex underside. The base ring is outsplayed with a flat edge. A horizontal depression is cut on the exterior at the junction of the two convex curves.
