Ca. 1st-2nd Century AD
A large Roman blown glass jug with a light yellow-green colouring. The vessel is adorned with an applied wide ribbon type handle which connects to the shoulder and the underside of the rim. The jug consists of a wide, cylindrical body with a rounded, flat shoulder. It bears a short, thin neck that expands into a wide, flat, flared lip. Scattered areas of iridescent surface patina further decorate the piece.
