Description: | Base fragment from a mould-blown glass hexagonal bottle in bllue/green glass. Only a small area of the side survives, but there is enough of the base (just over half) to show that one edge was 35mm in length. The raised design on the base consists of a centre dot, a circle (ext diameter 26mm) and a hexagonal outline (side 27mm). The vessel wall is 2.8mm thick. This is a fairly small hexagonal bottle with base design similar to Cool and Price 1995 (Colchester Archaeol Rep 8) p.193, fig 11.8 no 2143 but perhaps without the outer row of dots shown on that eg - however there is an irregular dot at one angle and a fault at the other. This type of vessel mainly dates to the 1st to 2nd century, but a hexagonal bottle is cited from a 3rd century grave at York and the discussion in Cool & Price suggests that their no 2143 could be part a late 2nd century type. | Subjects: | prismatic bottle | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Plouviez, Judith | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
