For similar tooled circle decoration cf. Exhibition catalogue, 3000 Jahre Glaskunst, Lucerne, 1981, pp. 112-113, no. 448 and E. M. Stern, Roman, Byzantine and Early Medieval Glass, Ostfildern-Ruit, 2001, pp. 278-280, nos. 144-145. These large jugs similar to item one, were copying the luxury silver jugs fashionable at the time.
