- Lot Description
Roman, Eastern Mediterranean, Imperial Period, ca. 2nd to 4th century CE. An elegant vessel that is free-blown from translucent glass of a blue-green hue known as a candlestick unguentarium because of its tall, slender neck. The vessel exhibits a bell-shaped lower body with a slightly concave base, a tapered, rounded shoulder, a tall neck, and a flared rim with an in-folded lip. The surfaces are enveloped with faint layers of silvery and rainbow-hued iridescence that nicely complement its soft turquoise color. Size: 2.8" W x 7.625" H (7.1 cm x 19.4 cm)
