A stunning, ancient Roman unguentarium, formed of a deep, emerald-green, blown glass. The vessel has a wide flat rim, extended cylindrical neck, and a flared-out body with a flat base. The vessel has a double-bodied structure with thick walls. The vessel showcases areas of rainbow iridescence over the exterior and interior, particularly around the base and the rim. The glass has a textured surface with pinprick bubble areas around the base. The glass despite its deep vivid colour is translucent.
