Abstract

The paper presents reconstruction of a plate made of free-blown glass, of Salona, inv. no. G 39, sized 2.25 cm in height, 17.8 cm in diameter, and 13.9 in the bottom diameter, dated to the 2nd/3rd to early 5th centuries. The reconstruction procedure is similar to reconstruction of ceramic vessels. The difference is in the material used. In gluing and reconstruction of the glass plate was used Araldit 2020 A/B. The prepared mixture, once hardened, was applied evenly with a spatula onto paper bands. The hardening process, separation of the paper bands, grinding, that is, removing of surplus of the mass by grinding, are followed by polishing of the reconstructed piece. This procedure of additional gluing and reconstruction made the plate more compact and harder.
