Description: | Fragment of a Roman glass drinking cup with 'facet cut' decoration. The glass has decayed over the years and turned white, but when new it would have been colourless. Cheap Roman glass was blue-green in colour, so colourless glass was unusual. People liked it because there are few naturally colourless materials (second or third century, Arbeia Roman Fort). | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | archaeology living in the North East home life art glass roman | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
