介绍（中）	半透明的淡蓝绿色。圆形、上翘和外展的边缘，在下方弯曲到扁平的身体; 整体式低基环，带圆边。在身体的下面，有三十五个向外的切口舌头的圆形图案，用切口线勾勒出轮廓，在基环周围的凸起边界内; 基环，一个切开的圆圈围绕着雕刻的美杜莎头部，带有流动的锁和翅膀，正面但略微向左看。完好无损，除了基环上有大芯片;微小的针刺气泡;暗淡，斑块的点蚀，身体上表面有棕色风化，下表面有彩虹色和淡淡的白色风化。这块小玻璃板于 1997 年作为 19 世纪的赝品出版，但最近的一项研究得出结论，该物体和切割装饰都是罗马的。虽然据说这艘船来自罗马，但它最接近的相似之处是从莱茵兰的特里尔和克桑滕等地知道的。在后来的罗马时代，一些铸造玻璃的产量优先于吹制玻璃，就像这个例子一样，允许更厚的容器壁和更深的装饰切割。
介绍（英）	Translucent pale blue green. Rounded, upturned, and outsplayed rim, curving in below to flat body; integral low base ring with rounded edge. On underside of body, circular pattern of thirty-five outward-pointing incised tongues, outlined with incised lines, within a raised border around base ring; with base ring, an incised circle surrounds an engraved head of Medusa with flowing locks and wings, facing frontally but looking slightly to the left. Intact, except for large chip in base ring; tiny pinprick bubbles; dulling, patches of pitting with brown weathering on upper surface of body, iridescence and faint whitish weathering on underside. This small glass plate was published in 1997 as a 19th-century forgery, but a more recent study has concluded that both the object and the cut decoration are Roman. Although this vessel is said to have come from Rome, its closest parallels are known from sites such as Trier and Xanten in the Rhineland. In later Roman times, some cast glass was produced in preference to blown glass, as with this example, allowing for a thicker vessel wall and deeper cutting of the decoration.
