Cuddesdon Bowl drawn by Matthew age 10

Drawing and writing by Matthew aged 10

This glass bowl would have been made by a technique known as glass-blowing. The glass is blown into a round shape to form the bowl. The decoration was created by the glass-maker pouring a thin stream of molten glass (melted glass) onto the bowl shape in the loops that can be seen on the side of the bowl and the rings on the top of the bowl.
