Jar
New Kingdom, Ramesside
Egyptian glassmaking, which had reached a high level of virtuosity in late Dynasty 18, continued to be practiced in the Ramesside Period; however, the quality, as well as quantity, of it production dropped off sharply in Dynasty 20. The flasks and bowls made at this time were often monochrome like this jar here, with only a "rope" made of stained glass rods in contrasting colors attached to the rims, shoulders or feet of the vessels.
