Notes
A light green decorated molded glass dish, with engraved patterns on the outside of its base, and a flat and smooth inner surface. The inscriptions consist of a central star with seven corners, surrounded by seven circular shapes, each containing a pattern of circles. The star is also filled with an array of small circular shapes. The plate is a blown molded glassware, designed primarily for everyday use. The green color of the transparent plate was created with a mixture of iron oxide and the white quartz paste from which the glass is made.
