Physical DescriptionAlmost colorless, with greenish yellow tint; small bubbles and one elongated bubble in neck. Blown and facet-cut. Fragment of bottle with broad flange rim and cylindrical neck. Rim tapers sharply, with rounded edge and outermost part of upper surface ground flat and polished; neck wider at bottom than at top, and cut in horizontal registers, two of which survive. Register at top has continuous band of six vertical facets, each almost touching its neighbors. Register below this has continuous band of four pairs of shallow rhomboids, which are taller than they are wide; in each pair, outer vertical sides are at higher level than inner vertical sides, creating triangular space between their tops, which is occupied by V-shaped cut; immediately below this, one small triangular facet.
