| Description: | Bottle with deep kick, globular body, tall narrow neck with bulge cut out just below outturned lip. Decoration with opaque white and red blobs marvered into body and elongated into threads on the neck. Similar fragments have been found in the Forum Northeast factory (MF 7620), and it is therefore likely that the date of this bottle is 11th or 12th century. Lamm, however, in his article "Glass and Hard Stone Vessels" Survey of Persian arts, III, pp. 2592-2606, presents a similar "carafem green, ribbed in red and white", which he dates 18th or 19th century. | |
