Translucent pale blue green, with deep turquoise green blobs.
Unworked, knocked-off rim, with bulging collar beneath; somewhat misshapen and uneven sides to body, tapering downwards; pushed-in bottom.
Four blobs applied irregularly to exterior of lower body.
Intact, except for minor chip in rim; pinprick bubbles; slight dulling, pitting, and iridescent weathering on exterior, patches of creamy brown weathering on interior.
Vessels with decorated with colored blobs were very popular in late Roman times; examples have been found both in the East and along the Rhine frontier in Germany.
