About this piece

Glassy amber sliver with a rough, faceted body and a rim like a chimney.

This blown glass vessel is Islamic, and dates to the 7th century. Ancient glass vessels are often found with an iridescent surface layer, which generally develops over centuries as the glass slowly reacts with moisture in the soil. Tall, narrow piece with a cylindrical neck and a lumpy, angular lower half. Translucent, frosty pale surfaces are streaked with golden orange deposits, and several flat planes meet at the foot. It is 1 inches wide, 1 deep and 2 high.

Looks like it has been through something and wants everyone to know.
