Physical DescriptionTransparent thick probably colorless glass with yellow tinge; glass was heavily crizzled and has, therefore, been treated with a sticky solution giving it an amber-like tint; glass is sticky to the touch; mold-blown. Cylindrical body with slightly concave base showing pontil mark; three flattened heavily ribbed feet applied to base; the body shows in high relief a mythological scene including tritons, mermaids, two horses, a figure blowing a horn and a standing male figure; the details are not sharp.Provenance
