Research Remarks
| Published Description | "This free-blown, green bottle-flask of "colorless" glass belongs to a small class having a carinated body resting on a relatively high, circular concave base. The neck flares outward at the top to form a wide mouth. The rim is rounded. The base, with an irregular edge, was blown separately and joined to the vessel. Tool marks are visible where it was flattened on the upper surface. Thin lines faintly visible on the surface of the flask suggest that it may have been decorated with trailed threads. A similar example may be seen in Harden, p. 223, fig. 4, e." -Eunice Dauterman Maguire, Henry Maguire and Maggie J. Duncan-Flowers, Art and Holy Powers in the Early Christian House (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1989), 119. |
