- Lot Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 2nd century CE. A gorgeous utilitarian bottle of a sizable form, mold-formed from pale blue-green glass, upon a slightly concave base with a set of raised concentric circles. The tall rectangular body has four even sides which round at the shoulders, taper to a cylindrical neck, and terminate in an everted, in-folded rim. A wide trail handle with a pair of protruding corners joins the upper neck to the shoulder for ease of pouring. Thick layers of silvery and rainbow-hued iridescence envelop the exterior and nicely complement the vessel's soft turquoise hues. Size: 2.25" W x 8.6" H (5.7 cm x 21.8 cm).
