Barber_Cup_and_Crawford_Cup
The Barber Cup and Crawford Cup are two non-matching carved fluorite cups from about 50–100 AD.[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.[1] Both cups are now in the collection of the British Museum, which acquired the Crawford Cup in 1971 and the Barber Cup in 2004.[1][2] The two cups are the only two vessels carved from fluorite (also known as fluorspar) that are known to have survived intact from the Roman period.[1]
