This transparent blue-green plate is shallow with a broad collar. It sits on a raised, irregularly shaped foot with a folded over rim. This form is common to the Mediterranean provinces although datable examples have been found from Switzerland, Crete (Knossos), the Cave of Letters in Israel and Tipasa (Algeria).
