Glass mosaic ribbed bowl rim fragment
Rim and upper body fragment of a deep ribbed bowl with base ring.
Translucent honey brown and opaque white.
Outsplayed rim with rounded edge, partially ground down; straight side, tapering obliquely toward bottom.
Composite mosaic pattern formed from large sections of two canes, both in a brown ground: one with a large white circle and central white rod, and the other with a smaller circle and central rod surrounded by a ring of white rods.
Polished on all surfaces, with some pitting of surface bubbles. Some irregular tooling marks on exterior below rim; no trace of any ribbing survives.
