Object Description
An ancient Roman jug blown from translucent yellow glass. The vessel features a rounded cuboid body which sits upon a concave base. The shoulders taper into a long cylindrical neck with a wide out-splayed rim that has been folded into a decorative trefoil shape. This design was used for better control over the distribution of liquids that it contained. The outside of the rim and the neck are decorated with a fine trailing. Green trailing has been applied around the body in a zig-zag pattern with three horizontal bands above. A single yellow handle has been applied from the rim to the shoulder. Iridescence is visible to the surface.
Date: Circa 3rd-4th century AD
