DescriptionThis beaker is made of medium thin transparent pale green glass. A similarly colored thread is applied just below the rim. The fabric cannot be determined because of weathering. The vessel is free-blown and shows a visible pontil mark. The everted rim is rounded and thickened in flame with a tool mark on the interior. The straight-walled body broadens slightly toward the base, which is flattened with a depression in the center. A thin applied thread circles the body below the rim and has a small buckle at its point of attachment.
