Description: | A shard of a Roman blue glass vessel, possibly part of the handle from a jug or pitcher or possibly a bowl. The glass contains some air bubles and has a distinct blue colour to it. The moulding of several parallel lines is of a high quality and is similar in design to the remains of a glass vessel excavated by Wessex Archaeology in Cambourne, Cambs (2003). This vessel shard is probably late 3rd to 4th century in style and date. Interestingly there are traces of silver inlay within the glass ridges of the handle detail, suggesting this was a high value piece of tableware.
The shard measures 20.48mm long, 34.08mm wide and weighs 10.1gms. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Byard, Anni - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
