Abstract We present a rare Roman glass with a peculiar decoration recovered in excavation of a private or semiprivate building in Mérida (Badajoz) dated in the IIIth or IVth century ad. After a detailed description of the piece, its physical characteristics and its production process, we proceeded to compare with other Roman glass objects whose manufacture seems to have used similar techniques employed in this object. It is a blowing the air glass decorated with a pattern of wires applied on bridges have also been partially cut. This piece, which should be used as part of the tableware, despite its utilitarian nature, reveals the high level reached in the processing techniques for Roman vitrearii. From the ornamental perspective, the closest parallels to the Emeritan glass come from the Northwest of France it seems possible that it is an object of import.
