Jug with Composite Handle
(Roman Empire )
This type of jug was used to hold wine or water at the dinner table. Made of free-blown glass, this example is composed of a green-toned, slightly iridescent glass and is decorated with a thread around the neck and another around the mouth, made by trailing molten glass around the vessel when it was still hot.
