Physical DescriptionTransparent blue glass with small bubbles and few very small stones; blown, scratch-engraved. Fragment of cylindrical cup, evidently including almost complete profile of wall from just below rim almost to base. Wall is almost straight, but has convex profile, and it curves in at bottom. Exterior of wall has three horizontal bands of scratch-engraved ornament (from top to bottom): (1) evidently just below rim, narrow band with group of short vertical lines resting on border line; (2) between pairs of border lines above and below, broad band of leaf sprays and isolated leaves, all filled with transverse hatching; and (3) evidently just above base, narrow band with border line at top, from which descends group of short vertical lines alternating with hatched semicircles.Provenance
