Barber Cup and Crawford Cup

[1][2] They were discovered during World War I by an Austro-Croatian officer who excavated a Roman tomb near the current Turkish–Syrian border.

Pliny the Elder wrote about exorbitant amounts of money spent for cups made of "murrine" (almost certainly fluorite).

[3] Pliny described the softness of the material (one Roman counsel nibbled at the edges of his cup) as well as its many-colored, banded appearance.

The two cups were discovered with other items in a Roman tomb near the modern border between Turkey and Syria by an Austro-Croatian officer during World War I.

It is 14.9 cm wide (including the handles) and weighs 867 g. The one-handled cup was acquired by the Belgian collector Baron Adolphe Stoclet in Paris during the 1920s.
