Roman glass vessel
Eight body fragments, some joining, from beaker, bottle or flask (?); colourless ground, with opaque white and transluscent mid-blue. Dull, some surfaces 'frosted', perhaps because of heat. Part of straight-sided, rather narrow body, with unmarvered serpentine trails, apparently arranged vertically and alternately blue and white, the trails marked by close-set scoring.
