Fascinating world of ancient #glass: a #Roman jug made of blue glass with splashed decoration in white, yellow and brown. The decoration was created by applying fragments of coloured glass to the surface of the vessel before it was fully blown.
The technique was fashionable in the first half of the 1st c. A.D. and may have been influenced by the production of cast mosaic glass.
Found in a burial at Kempten-Keckwiese, dating ca. 30 AD.

On display at Archäologische Staatssammlung München
