Bottle
A natural blue glass bottle. Moderate quality glass, with large bubbles in some places (round on body, elongated on neck). Only very slight iridescence and weathering. Parts present: complete (rim, neck, handle, body, base); broken into sherds and rebuilt, with just small parts missing on side and shoulders. Technical features: mould-blown. Very flat rim, folded in. Reeded handle, with 10 'reeds'. Base design: square framing a circle (pontil scar inside). This is a finely made vessel, with clean moulding.
Isings form 50.
From an inhumation burial (B197) in a tile cist, alongside a glass mirror and other glass vessels (including MST87[199]<67>).
