<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Plumbata, post: 3731780, member: 96864&quot;]I found this, looks quite relevant:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-us/auction-catalogues/baldwins/catalogue-id-srbal10023/lot-8d39e3c0-6699-410d-9d0c-a47b00f3b696" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-us/auction-catalogues/baldwins/catalogue-id-srbal10023/lot-8d39e3c0-6699-410d-9d0c-a47b00f3b696" rel="nofollow">https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-us/auction-catalogues/baldwins/catalogue-id-srbal10023/lot-8d39e3c0-6699-410d-9d0c-a47b00f3b696</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1000609[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I circled one that looks quite similar to yours. They are described as a variety of weights and glass vessel stamps, for example:</p><p><br /></p><blockquote><p>6.33G Large glass vessel stamp for a measure of “kamun” or white cumin dated 123h and in the name of al-Qasim b. ‘Ubayd Allah, Finance Director of Egypt, and Dawud b. al-Murr his executive </p><p><br /></p><p>16.64G Glass vessel stamp for a qist of olive oil for a Fals, in the name of al-Qasim b. ‘Ubayd Allah, Finance Director of Egypt, and Muslim b. al-Arraf, his executive</p><p><br /></p><p>2.89G Glass vessel stamp, anonymous</p><p><br /></p></blockquote><p>As an antique bottle collector I&#039;d probably pass-out if I obtained an intact jar with that dated 123 AH (AD 740-741) &quot;kamun&quot; stamp, these are very interesting and way older than the European ones.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know which pieces the different descriptions refer to, but based on the fact that remains of glass are stuck to the back of your piece and the insight provided by this auction lot it appears that what you have is a Byzantine or Islamic &quot;Glass vessel stamp&quot;. It&#039;s quite an interesting find, and maybe the book referenced in the auction &quot;A Catalogue of Early Islamic Glass Stamps in the British Museum&quot; contains some scholarship and information regarding your artifact.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
