    "description": "The Romans mastered the skill of glass blowing and the shape of this urn mimics their productions. The surface of this vessel was treated with chemicals after it had been fired to appear as if it had been buried underground, like the Roman examples. While underground, the glass would deteriorate and its color fade.",
