Mould-blown in opaque, cornflower-blue glass in a two-part mould. The ovoid body rises from a flat circular foot, a band of linked waves around the body bordered by pairs of horizontal lines, with vertical ribs above and below. The single handle drawn from the shoulder to the folded rim. Intact, the surface with iridescence.
This glass comes from the ‘Sidonian’ series. These were likely all made in Sidon, Syria, and date from the 1st-2nd century AD. They were blown into a two- or three-part mould and the seams formed are almost always visible.
