1st-2nd century AD. A small green glass collared globular jug with short neck, angular ribbon handle with two narrow prominent ribs, folded upper attachment to the cylindrical neck, blue-green lines on the globular body, trefoil mouth. See Cool H. and Price J., Colchester Archaeological Reports, Report 8: Roman vessel glass from excavations in Colchester, 1971-85, Colchester, 1995, fig.888, p.125, 915. 66.5 grams, 11cm (4 1/4"). From an important Mayfair collection formed from 1970-1990s. Globular and conical jugs of Isings forms are found dating to between the first and the second century AD in the Roman provinces, like Britannia. The translucent glass may be divided into four broad categories; strongly-coloured, lightly-tinted, colourless, and blue/green glass, like this specimen. Blue/green glass was used to make vessels throughout the first three centuries, but became much less common in the 4th century, when the commonest vessel types were most frequently made in a range of pale green or yellow shades.
