Abstract

Small urn has two handles, both of which are now detached. The free handles had been glued where they attached to the urn; the glass of the urn is quite smooth. A long bubble appears along the neck at the attachment site. The mouth flairs from the conical neck. The rim is thick and uneven in diameter and thickness. Evidence of glue on the inside of the neck. Below the hip, ribs are molded into the glass. These ribs radiate up from the point where the body meets the base. The base is concave and seems to have no decoration. Evidence of glue inside the base.

A three-dimensional model of a glass urn with speckled colors of white, brown, green, and blue visible despite its advanced age. The urn's rounded shape is somewhat asymmetrical and it varies in thickness in different places. The 3D model can be freely moved, rotated, and zoomed in and out to allow the viewer to inspect the object from multiple angles. A small, still image of the object is also included, with the object against a white background and a measurement scale in centimeters below it.
