Distempered glass
Friday, 23 September 2011
Archaeologists can spend a lot of time with fragments. How they have fractured tells you something about the material they’re composed of and how they broke.
These are Corelle, pieces of the rim of a 2-quart serving bowl in Winter Frost White (the web maintains), although they look a bit blue here.
Corelle is a tempered glass, and I’ve never before seen glass break into elongated shark’s teeth.
