Translucent yellow green; handles in same colorEverted tubular rim, folded over and in; broad, cylindrical neck; convex bulging shoulder; elongated ovoid body tapering to a point; two rod handles applied as pads on shoulder, drawn up and slightly out, then turned in horizontally and pressed on to top of neck and underside of rim.Thirty-four close-set horizontal ribs, extending from shoulder to lower body, then a plain band before a narrow group comprising one prominent horizontal rib flanked above and below by another shallower rib. Base or foot missing and crack in top of one handle, otherwise intact; a few bubbles; some dulling, faint weathering, and iridescence on exterior, soil encrustation and iridescent weathering on interior.Probably made in a three-part mold, comprising two side elements extending from neck to bottom of main ribbing on body and a cup-shaped bottom. It is uncertain whether the vessel had a knob base or a foot, but the former is more probable.This is an unusually large mold-blown glass vessel, for which no parallel is known. But the quality of the piece suggests that it may be associated with a leading workshop, such as that of Ennion. Three of his products are displayed in the adjacent Augustan gallery.
