Description: | 1: A fragment of cast Roman pale blue/green window glass, roughly rectangular in shape, measuring 25mm by 19mm in size and 4mm in thickness. A complete corner survives with rounded edges and a tooling mark near the corner, so this glass was square or rectangular in shape when complete. One face is rough to the touch with tiny circular dimples on it, the other is smooth and more translucent. Small air bubbles can be seen within the glass. 2: A fragment of a Roman blue/green cast window glass, roughly rectangular in shape, measuring 49mm in length and 22mm in width and 4mm in thickness. One face is smooth to the touch and the other is rough. Small air bubbles can be seen within the glass.

Cast window panes are generally thought to have been produced by pouring molten glass into trays.
