The J. Paul Getty Museum
Los Angeles, United States

Free-blown amber-colored cup. The vessel is stemmed with a spreading foot. It has a flaring lip with the rim folded over the outside edge. A high handle of blue-green glass is attached to the rim forming an arch above and making the vessel resemble a situla. Weathering has caused a white iridescent discoloration and there is light incrustation over much of the surface.
