Vase

Egyptian glassmaking, which had reached a high level of virtuosity in late Dynasty 18, continued to be practiced in the Ramesside Period; however, the quality, as well as quantity, of it production dropped off sharply in Dynasty 20. The design of this bottle is characteristic of its time, as it is often monochrome, with only a "rope" made of stained glass rods in contrasting colors attached to its rim.
