Object Description
An Ancient Roman small unguentarium formed from blue, translucent glass. The body flares from a rounded base to a wide shoulder, from which it tapers steeply inwards. A cylindrical neck, constricted at the base, develops to a small mouth with a thin, slightly everted rim. A subtle pontil impression features to the base. A subtle silvery-purple iridescence features across the neck and body, complementing the attractive pale blue colouration of the glass. This piece has been repaired, with significant cracks across the body. Earthy encrustations and minor dulling and scratches feature to the surface.
Please take note of the measurements.
Date: Circa 1st-3rd Century AD
