Archaeology — Roman; 50-150
Glass, vessel, dish
A glass dish; millefiori design in yellow, green, blue, white/amber glass. Some decomposition, especially to the opaque white/amber (making the intended colour uncertain). Parts present: rim (8%), flat, hooked rim and gently shelving body, part of a shallow bowl or dish, probably no more than 25mm deep originally. The millefiori rods comprise: (a) an opaque white/amber central cane; (b) an inner ring of 8 green canes; (c) an outer ring of 12 blue canes. Each coloured cane was itself wrapped in yellow, and so yellow has become the dominant colour.
