介绍（中）	半透明的浅绿色。张开的敲掉的边缘，下面有凹痕; 身体边凸，向下逐渐变细; 平底，边缘突出圆润。三部分模具，两个垂直部分连接到杯形底部，在侧面形成浮雕装饰; 中央楣板上方的两个水平脊包含两个希腊铭文，每条线分为两行，由程式化的棕榈叶垂直分隔; 在楣板下方，还有三个水平脊; 在模具的杯形部分的底部附近，还有两个水平脊。破损和修复，大约三分之一缺失，包括大部分底部;吹条纹但气泡少;外部暗淡而明亮的彩虹风化，内部有乳白色的棕色风化和彩虹色。铭文的一面写着"Neikais made （me/it）"，另一面写着"愿买家被记住"。只有另外四个由Neikais签名的烧杯是已知的。其中之一是在犹太狂热分子据点马萨达挖掘的碎片，该碎片被围困并最终在公元 73/4 年被罗马人俘虏。Neikais是希腊名字Nikias或Nikaios的罕见变体，可用于女性和男性。因此，有人建议Neikais应该被确定为已知最早的女玻璃吹制者。
介绍（英）	Translucent light green. Outsplayed knocked-off rim with indent below; body with convex sides, tapering downwards; flat bottom with projecting rounded edge. Three-part mold with two vertical sections joined to cup-shaped bottom section, forming decoration in relief on sides; two horizontal ridges above central frieze containing two Greek inscriptions, each in two lines and divided vertically by a stylized palm frond; below frieze, three more horizontal ridges; near bottom on cup section of mold, two more horizontal ridges. Broken and repaired, with approximately one-third missing including most of bottom; blowing striations but few bubbles; dulling and brilliant iridescent weathering on exterior, and patches of creamy brown weathering and iridescence on interior. The inscriptions read "Neikais made (me/it)" on one side and "May the buyer be remembered" on the other. Only four other beakers signed by Neikais are known. One of these is a fragment excavated at Masada in the Jewish zealot stronghold that was besieged and finally captured by the Romans in A.D. 73/4. Neikais is a rarely found variant of the Greek name Nikias or Nikaios and could be used for women as well as men. It has therefore been suggested that Neikais should be identified as the earliest known female glassblower.
