Colorless with pale greenish tinge.Slightly inverted rim, with top edge ground flat; convex curving side tapering downward; integral splayed base ring with rounded bottom edge; slightly undulating, flat bottom; two loop handles carved out from body but surrounded by raised squared-off areas, with flat thumb-rests above loops with wings above and below.Body broken and repaired, with one large chip in rim and several holes in body, but both handles intact; pinprick and larger bubbles; dulling, pitting, patches of iridescence and creamy weathering.Rotary grinding marks on interior, exterior, and bottom.Many glass vessels in the Hellenistic period were made of intentionally decolorized glass. The attempt to make them look colorless and transparent may be associated with the desire to imitate luxury rock-crystal vessels.
