VESSEL

Unique ID: WMID-580AB3

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A small fragment of pale blue/turquoise glass, probably from a glass vessel. As the piece is very small it is difficult to determine the form of the vessel from which it came, making dating problematic. However, the colour of the glass may suggest a late post-medieval to modern date.
