Description: | Fragment of a Roman square-sided bottle. These were made by being blown into a square-sided mould, with the neck and rim added freehand. The characteristic ribbed handle was added last. To avoid damage when packed, the handle is no wider than the body. This blue-green colour is the natural colour of cheap Roman glass (second century, Arbeia Roman Fort).
