Toilet Bottle; Fayoum; Glass vessels; Glass

Notes:

Squat, yellowish glass toilet bottle with rounded body and irregularly sloped sides. Rounded shoulder gives way to thick, short, very rounded neck, which has a purposely abraded circle around the mouth opening. Mouth opening probably formed by hot, circular rod inserted into vessel. This bottle undoubtedly had a stopper, now missing. The base is marked by five pinched feet, all of which are now chipped or abraded. The glass fabric is cloudy from weathering, but almost totally free from pits, iridescence, or excavation abrasions. Only the base of the neck has noticeable brown enamel weathering.
