Research Remarks
| Description | "This is a pale bluish green flask, with a circular flat-sided body, a long, thin tubular neck, and a slightly flattened, pushed-in base. The body is covered with a light mold-blown ribbing, twisted spirally. The tapering neck flares out at the top to form a wide mouth. The rim is folded inward. The neck is decorated with a single trailed thread of a dark, peacock blue. Two symmetrically placed loop handles of the same color extend from the midpoint of the neck to the shoulders. The vessel sows evidence of iridescent weathering. |
