4. Inscribed bulbous beaker
with constricted lip from the
Berlin-West Museum
(Phot, token from
A. Greifenhogen, "Ancient Gloss
in the Berlin-West Museum,
op. tit, p. 63, Fig. 5)
The Goìuchów collection is also worthy of attention for another well-pre-
served mould-blown bulbous beaker with constricted lip of transparent
greenish glass and an inscription in Greek, EYOPAINOY EOW ELAPEI
(„be glad that you are here“), in one continuous frieze, bounded above and
below by pairs of horizontal ribs and with a frieze of vertical gadroons below
(Fig. 3). The whole was blown in a tripartite mould (inv. no. 142557 MN,
height 7 cm, diameter 8.7 cm, rim diameter 7.4 cm, base diameter 4.5 cm,
Fig. 3).
In W Froehner’s opinion the beaker was discovered on Cyprus,17 from
where numerous inscribed glasses of foreign origin or local production have
been excavated. D.B. Harden, the creator of a typology of glasses with
mould-blown inscriptions placed this vessel in group G 1, II, 18 compiling si-
multaneously a catalogue of known vessels of similar form, successively sup-
plemented thanks to new archeological discoveries and publications of muse-
um collections.19 A beaker ressembling the one in the Warsaw National Mu-
seum is to be found in the Berlin Antiquarium Collection (inv. no.
30219.212, heigh 7cm, diameter 8,7 cm, Fig.4).20 *
