Glass hexagonal jug

Translucent yellow green, with trail and handle in green.

Outsplayed rim folded outward, over, and inward; funnel-shaped mouth joining cylindrical neck that expands downwards; slightly pushed-in horizontal shoulder with downward curving outer edge; hexagonal body, tapering downwards, with slightly impressed side panels; deeply pushed-in bottom, with traces of central pontil; rod handle, applied in a large pad on edge of shoulder, drawn up and outward, then curved round and trailed onto underside of mouth and rim, with trail extending above upper edge of rim.

On neck, single trail applied as a pad, drawn round and down to join handle pad; on body, six rectangular panels, decorated with matching pairs of three different geometric relief patterns: two vertical lozenges with central dots and half lozenges to either side, a lattice of diamond-shaped bosses, and a stylized palm frond with twelve or thirteen leaves to either side of central stem; on bottom, a six-pointed star with an inward-facing chevron in each segment.

Complete, except for cracks and one small hole in bottom; some pinprick and larger bubbles, a glassy inclusion in mouth, and black impurities in handle; slight dulling and iridescence on exterior, some soil encrustation on interior.

Moulded, with one handle.
