Ribbed Bottle; Fayoum; Glass vessels; Glass

Notes:

Intricately shaped bottle, formed in many steps. Yellow glass vessel whose thick pad base with pontil mark was attached to mold blown body. Body has seven thick ribs that extend vertically from the pad base through the shoulder to the base of the neck. The neck consists of four rings, each successively larger than the one before, so the neck flares outward. The neck rim was carefully rounded and undoubtedly had a decorative stopper, now missing. An abraded blue blob exists between two of the ribs (the remains of a decoration?). A blue streak is imbedded in the neck rim. Two ribs are chipped, but otherwise the bottle is intact and barely weathered. The vessel appears to have been free blown with applied vertical trails forming seven ribs of unequal distances apart.
