Description: | A rim sherd from a glass vessel of Roman date. The fragment is formed from a pale blue/green glass that has multiple inclusions and air bubbles. The rim itself is roughly oval sectioned, out-turned, folded and flattened, with a short length of the neck preserved but terminating in both directions in old breaks. Beneath the rim is the top of an incomplete ribbon handle that is folded and attached to the top of the neck and underside of the rim. This terminates in old breaks just below the rim, its precise form uncertain. The entire object measures 35.14mm in width, 16.60mm in length, 14.83mm in height, 5.17mm in thickness at rim, approximately 37-38mm in rim diameter, and 6.48g in weight.This is a rim sherd from a glass vessel of Roman date. It finds parallels in prismatic and cylindrical bottles recorded from excavation in Colchester (Cool and Price, 1995: nos. 1841, 1847). This suggests a possible date range for the current example in the 1st to 3rd centuries AD.
