Large Green Glass Bottle - SF.291, Origin: Central Asia, Circa: 800 AD to 900 AD, Dimensions: 6" (15.2cm) high, Collection: Islamic Art, Style: Mold Blown/Tooled, Medium: Glass. This Bottle has an irregular cylindrical body, a slightly curved shoulder, a short flared neck that bulges at the opening and a slightly kicked base. Its decoration consists the common vertical ribbed motif which here is twisted clockwise outside the mold. Although the decoration might be faint, because the finished object was always larger than the interior of the mold, it survived to a greater extent. The object is in good condition and is partially weathered, resulting in a greyish patina.
