Mold-blown cup (cup (drinking vessel); Possibly from the Workshop of Ennion (Roman glassblower, act...; ca. 1-50 CE; J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Villa (Malibu, Los Angeles...; 95.AF.60)

Note: A small mold-blown glass cup whose decoration consists of a Greek inscription encircling the body at its widest point with horizontal ribs providing an upper and lower frame, and ascending tongues decorating the bottom of the body. The base has a flat resting surface decorated with concentric circles, and is "kicked in" at the center to form a raised boss on the interior of the cup. The rim is uneven, having been "cracked off" from the blowpipe after inflation was completed. The rim is only slightly finished, having been ground down after the vessel was annealed.
