Small Glass Ewer
The decoration created by a thread of glass trailed around this vessel is suggestive of the undulating stylized vegetal scrolls often found on relief-cut wares. The horizontal rings on the neck and body, as well as the overall shape of the vessel, also recall relief-cut examples, showing that simpler, less time-consuming techniques were employed in addition to relief-cutting.
