DescriptionSmall hemispherical bowl. The bowl is cast, rotary-polished on both surfaces, cut on the exterior, and the base ring is cast as part of the vessel. It is made of opaque celadon green glass. It has a horizontal rim with a flat edge, a convex curving side, and the upperside of the floor is concave while the underside is slightly convex but uneven due to imperfect rotary polishing. The outsplayed base ring has a rounded edge. On the exterior, a broad horizontal depression is cut just below the rim.
