Object Description

A beautiful ancient Roman pilgrim flask, finely blown in pale green glass. The vessel features a flat, spherical body, leading to a long cylindrical neck and flat rim. Delicate bubbles are suspended in the translucent glass from the blowing process. The neck is chipped and therefore displays an irregularly cut rim. Due to the shape of this pilgrim flask it does not stand unaided.

Circa 2nd – 4th Century AD

Object Condition

Fine condition. Chipped neck. Some fine scratches and earthly encrustation to surface.
