Glass ribbed bowl
Translucent pale blue green.
Knocked-off, uneven vertical rim; body with bulging side, then curving in to thick, flat bottom.
On body, fifteen irregular, vertical ribs.
Complete but cracked; a few pinprick bubbles; dulling, pitting, iridescence, and patches of milky weathering, with one area of thick soil encrustation on interior.
This is an unusual example of the so-called zarte Rippenschalen type of bowl since it does not have an outsplayed rim and concave neck.
