Title: Footed Jug
Date: 10th–11th century AD
Location: Iran or Iraq
Materials: yellowish-green glass, mould-blown, trail-decorated and tooled
Dimensions: 16 x 12.5cm
Accession Number: GLS 442
Other Notes:
The jug, with its squashed globular body, tall funnel neck and rounded rim, was blown in a two-part mould, deeply carved with an all-over design of concentric lozenges with a central sunken dot. The irregularity of the patterned surface indicates that a ceramic mould was used. The handle is made of a thick trail applied below the shoulder, pulled up and attached to the rim, and tooled into a thumb-rest.
