Glass jug
Trails in contrasting hues make these glass vessels especially distinctive. Dark blue trails encircling the neck and rim of the jug with twisting striations are characteristic of the Roman East. The striking color of the translucent blue jug is further enhanced by the addition of a lighter ring base and handle. As a silversmith, Moore may have recognized similarities between the winding glass threads and the effects obtained by using applied wire in metalwork.
