Unlike bowls, black glass jewellery was made in large
quantities and throughout the imperial period, par-
ticularly since the second half of the 2nd century, when
it expanded.
In addition to the jug from Ptuj, the article presents new
finds of black glass vessels from our area (mould-made)
and selected forms of jewellery items. It is hoped that
the presentation of this issue and the state of research
will encourage further studies of this kind of material.

Povzetek

V Ptujskem arheološkem zborniku je kolega Tušek leta 1993
objavil izsledke raziskav na ptujski obvoznici. V eni od
sond je bil v rimskem grobu 4 priložen ovalen vrč, nare-
jen iz na pogled črnega stekla. Kaj pomeni izraz »črno

ustrezno in splošno sprejeto? Črno steklo je steklo, ki je

ugotovimo, katera barva je prevladujoča. V članku želi-
mo zato opozoriti na omenjeno problematiko ter stanje
