Research Remarks
| Published Description | "This blue-green flask of "colorless" glass has a squat body with vertical sides, rounded shoulders, and a tall funnel-shaped neck. The rim is rounded. The vessel rests on a concave base, and has nine trailed handles, four sets of dark blue-green double loops symmetrically arranged around the neck, and a basket handle over the top. For a related example with a basket handle, see Hayes, 1975, p. 100, no. 356, pl. 23." -Eunice Dauterman Maguire, Henry Maguire and Maggie J.
