青い半透明のガラスを宙吹きして形を作り、口は水平に切ってある。同じ青色ガラスを高台代わりに4回巻き上げ、おそらく同じガラスで横に張り出した把手を付け、終わり際は波形にして胴体に付けている。美しい青に珍しい黄土色の銀化が付いた例で、把手の形も珍しい。ワインや水を入れて供したものであろう。
Catalogue Entry
This pitcher was free-blown and formed from blue semi-translucent glass and then its mouth was cut off horizontally. The same blue glass was then wrapped around four times in place of a foot, a stretched handle made from probably the same glass was attached, and finally a wave pattern was attached to the body of the pitcher. This pitcher has yellow ochre-colored iridescence on its beautiful blue body, and it would have been used for either wine or water.
