Medieval Glass

Medieval Glass
Army Digger, some of them can be quite robust. Roman glassware, which is blown, tends to be frail. But the cast Islamic glassware is very durable. Robby Bobby, Yes, a couple of them were authenticated. The big green one in back had also been professionally reconstructed.- Robby Raccoon

River, Creek, or Lake finds

Some of these Paul's Drinks came out of a lake. The far left one was the one that got me started as I found it in a lake as a youth.- Robby Raccoon
