Container Item Number: M3.39 from the MOA: University of British Columbia
Description
Translucent blue glass container. A prominent rim juts out wider than the body with a tubular ring around the bottom edge. The body is rounded and slopes inwards to a small, flat tubular base. The interior bottom of the base rises in a convex bump.
Specific Techniques
The technique used to blow this piece was to gather hot glass at the end of a hollow tube through which air was blown. The bubble of glass thus formed was transferred to a solid rod; it was then reheated, cut open where the blowpipe had been attached and manipulated with pinchers and flat pieces of wood. It was rolled back and forth on a hard flat surface until the desired shape was obtained. For similar types see: Oppenlander, p.109, fig. 295 and p.113, fig. 296; and Vessburg and Westholme, p.162, fig. 50, no. 41.
