Glass bottle
Translucent blue green.
Rounded, slightly thickened rim; flaring mouth; cylindrical neck with broad horizontal indent around base; below this, shoulder expands out and slopes downwards, then pinched into four wavy arms, forming five small openings, one at the center and four at edges, separated by diaphragms; globular body; concave bottom.
Complete, apart from cracks in one side of body and one small hole; many bubbles; dulling, limy encrustation, and faint iridescence.
Vessels of this type with constrictions to the base of the neck are known as ‘kuttrolf’ bottles. Similar bottles were produced in medieval and later times.
