Accident or design? This hemispherical circa 1st century BCE Mediterranean slumped and wheel-polished bowl is both blue-green and yellow-green. This is possibly due to uneven temperatures in the furnace, or two batches of different glass. #findsfriday in @macquariemuseum.bsky.social

Feeling blue? A cobalt blue lathe-cut 'Hofheim' cup for #findsfriday. Featuring a (slightly uneven) abraded line at the top and one thin one on the lower body. Fits wonderfully in the hand, maybe for a Friday afternoon tipple 🥃 - but it's not for sale (sorry). @macquariemuseum.bsky.social

A small cobalt blue glass cup with abraded line decoration.

A charming Roman lidded glass and copper alloy inkwell with moving handle for #findsfriday - if you squint on the 2nd pic you'll see some nice decoration (lines and circles). Inkwells for knib pens are uncommon and especially so in glass with copper alloy mounts. @macquariemuseum.bsky.social
