Glass jug
Not on view
Translucent streaky pale purple, with handle in uncertain color.
Rim, folded out, over, and in; broad flaring mouth; slender cylindrical neck; convex curving shoulder; cylindrical body, expanding downwards, then cup-shaped lower section; low circular base, with rounded edge and bottom concave at center; rod handle attached in a pad to shoulder, drawn up, round, and in, and folded onto underside of rim with slight fold above rim. A mold seam runs down sides; a separate cup-shaped section probably forms the lower body and base.
On shoulder, frieze of indistinct downturned raised tongues and twenty-eight upturned raised tongues on lower body, joined by a broad central band of two facing horizontal laurel sprays with matching pairs of leaves and berries, bordered above and below by a single raised line.
Most of rim and part of neck missing; many pinprick bubbles; deep pitting and brilliant iridescence on exterior, creamy weathering on handle.
