Flask, 9th century, Excavated in Iran, Nishapur, Glass; free blown, cut, H. 9 1/16 in. (23 cm), Glass, Several examples of this shape were excavated, including the body of a miniature carafe and a rare cobalt blue example, mold-blown with an all-over decoration of half-palmettes. This example, with its facet-cut neck and plain horizontal lines on the body, somehow recalls the approach to the decoration of Nishapur's wheel-thrown unglazed ewers
