Toilet Bottle; Fayoum; Glass vessels; Glass; undecorated

Notes:

Yellowish glass toilet bottle has very long, cylindrical body with rounded shoulders giving way to funnel-shaped neck. Neck is completely chipped and cracked, with deep, V-shaped portion missing. Base is stable but irregular, so bottle stands at an angle. Dark weathered pontil mark. Entire vessel covered with pits and tiny flecks of gold iridescence. Base and one side are visibly darker than the rest of vessel, due perhaps to weathering or impurities in glass metal.
