C

large crack with sliver of loss to the glass body of the pomegranate-form bottle; small scattered chip losses across the top rim edge of the globular-shaped vase with the ribbed body; tight hairline fracture lines to the glass body of the small ewer; unguent appears to be in generally good condition; the small vessel with the contrasting white colored handles appears to be in generally good condition, however, there are visible thin lines on the surface of the glass that may be hairlines but instead appear to be age related lines resulting from iridescence fracture lines at the surface
