Abstract: |
Tullie House Museum in Carlisle has a small collection of Roman glass from sites in Cumberland and Westmorland. The few pieces that have a provenance record are all from Carlisle or from Roman fort sites such as Kirby Thore, Hardknott and Birdoswald. The three basic techniques of glass-working are represented in the Tullie House collection (mould-pressing, mould-blowing and free-blowing), and the vessels are discussed under sub-headings accordingly, following a brief history of the origins of Roman glass in Britain.
