Object Description
A very fine small ancient Roman cosmetic flask blown from translucent, pale green glass with trail decoration. The vessel features a cylindrical body with a flaring mouth sats upon a slightly concave base. A single trail is applied to the body and wound around the entire length of the flask in a continuous spiral. Two thin handles in the same translucent glass have been applied to the cylindrical neck, then drawn up and pressed onto the everted, folded rim. Small bubbles of trapped air from the blowing process add further interest to the glass. Beautiful iridescence covers part of the body.
Please check measurements.
Date: Circa 4th-5th century AD
