Rome, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. This is a free blown green glass vessel with an ample chamber, a short cylindrical neck, an applied loop handle and wide lip and foot. This is probably an unguentarium designed to hold some precious oil. After the invention of blown glass in the Roman Holy Land in the first century CE, glass became easy and cheap to mass produce, and so glass replaced pottery for most items in the average Roman home. This is a particularly heavy and well-shaped example of the form. Size: 2.25" W x 4.25" H (5.7 cm x 10.8 cm).

Beautiful iridescent patina; there is a small area of restoration on the lip but otherwise the piece is intact.
