Glass mosaic bowl fragments
Three large, non-joining rim and body fragments of a hemispherical bowl.
Translucent turquoise blue appearing green, cobalt blue, opaque yellow, white, and red.
Applied coil on rim; thickened, slightly outsplayed rim with rounded edge; convex curving side tapering downward.
Mosaic pattern formed from polygonal sections of one cane and strips of another: polygonal cane in a turquoise blue ground with a yellow spiral and central rod, and the strips in white, yellow, and cobalt blue; coil in turquoise blue wound with three threads in yellow, red, and white.
Dulling, pitting, and iridescent weathering on all surfaces.
