Object Description
A very fine ancient Roman jug blown from translucent blue glass. The vessel features a cylindrical body, decorated with vertical ribbing, sitting upon a concave base. The shoulders taper into a long neck with wide out-splayed rim that has been folded into a decorative trefoil shape. This design was used for better control over the distribution of liquid that it contained. A single handle has been applied from the rim to the shoulder in the same blue-green coloured glass. Beautiful iridescence covers part of the body.
Date: Circa 4th-5th century AD
