Kylix · 1st century A.D.
This mold-blown cup is made of olive-green glass. The seam mark indicates that this cup was blown in a two-part mold. Its mastoid body is decorated with a Greek inscription in relief and ribbed designs. The concave base is impressed with an omphalos. The flaring mouth is constricted at its base and ends with a cracked-off rim. This cup is in fair condition and was reassembled with a fill near the rim. The surface presents some dark accretions on the inside.
