A single fine horizontal line incised on upper surface of rim near outer edge; a band of two parallel horizontal grooves around top body; and another single horizontal groove on body at point of greatest diameter.Intact, except for deep, weathered chips in side of body; slight dulling and pitting, iridescence, whitish weathering, and areas of soil encrustation.Rotary grinding marks on exterior.Small bottles and lidded pyxides (boxes) in mosaic and luxury gold-band glass were made during the Julio-Claudian period. But as glass-blowing became more widespread during the mid-1st century, they were quickly supplanted by free-blown versions, often in more transparent glass that allowed one to see the contents.
