3分割の割形に青い半透明ガラスを吹き込んで作られた瓶で、底は別型である。肩から底にかけて、図版143の作品と全く同じで、同一の型で作られた可能性がある。ただこの作品は、高台に2カ所ほど穴があいており、2カ所とも青い色ガラスの破片が容器内側に付いていた。破片は銀化しており、古いガラスと思われる。穴をふさぐために、似たような色ガラスの破片を付けたのかもしれない。香油瓶などに使われたものであろう。
Catalogue Entry
This bottle was blown and then formed in a three-part mold from blue semi-translucent glass. The base was made from a separate mold. The area from the shoulders to the base is exactly like that seen at cat. No. 143, and it is possible that it was created from the same mold. However, this foot of this work has two holes in it, and pieces of blue glass have been attached to these two places on the interior of the bottle. The glass fragments have iridescence and are thought to be old glass. This is likely a case of similar glass pieces being found to match the glass of the bottle when it was patched. This bottle was probably used to hold perfumed oils or other such materials.
