Notes: (3) A Fragment of Roman Glassware from Tealing, Angus

Abstract

A fragment of polychrome glass came from the excavation of an earth house at Tealing in 1871. The fragment is part of the side of one of the ribbed, low, circular bowls\r\nof Roman date familiarly, though inaccurately, described by the nineteenth-century\r\nname of "pillar-moulded bowls." It is an example of the type made from polychrome murrine glass and worked into an irregular streaky pattern, probably manufactured in Italy.
