Mould-blown in clear, bright yellow glass
with an olive-green handle. The body formed
in a two-part mould, the single handle drawn
from the shoulder to the folded rim, the
bulbous 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. Intact.
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 that were formed are almost
always visible.
