Description

Two blown glass vessels stand side by side on a pale grey surface against a plain backdrop. The left one is a squat, round-bodied jar with a short flaring neck and a clouded, pitted surface with dark weathering. The right one is a taller, straight-sided beaker with a thin rim and several horizontal ridges around its body, slightly tinted and more transparent.
