Glass plates and bowls were the most popular glass vessel in the Eastern Mediterranean area in the last centuries BC, during the Hellenistic period. Their manufacture continued even after the introduction of glass blowing. Dishes such as this one, featuring a tubular rim, folded outward, vertical sides and flat bottom thickened at the centre were made from the lower section of the glass bubble. The base was formed from an added ring wound once.
