Summary/Abstract: In the note are presented glass vessels from the 1st century AD discovered in Dacian settlement in Mereşti, Dâmbul Pipaşilor, Harghita county. There are two ribbed bowls. One of the fragments comes from a ribbed bowl made of mosaic glass, matte purple with opaque white impressions, made by casting/pressing into the mould (forma Isings 3); the other one comes from a free-blowing ribbed bowl made of semi-transparent purple glass, over which white, opaque glass wires were applied (Isings 17). They are among the few imported items documented in the settlement.
