Label copy

The form of this small jug reflects the malleability of molten glass. The body was free-blown, while the rim was shaped by using a pincher tool to constrict the neck. This same tool was then likely used to pull the spout from the rim. Finally, a glob of molten glass was attached to the vessel’s body and pulled upwards to the lip, forming the handle.
