A beautiful Roman green transparent glass bottle measuring 7.5 cm in height with a circumference of 9.4 cm and dated 1st or 2nd century AD, the period of Roman occupation.
The bottle was discovered in Syria and is in perfect condition. The glass is a very pale green color and the bottom is indented with a crude cutting. There is a very slender body with 20 vertical ribs that serve as the decoration. The long neck grows to a rolled rim and shipping is free. The plexiglass holder is included with the bottle. Glass articles were in use throughout the Roman Empire by the first century AD. Early glass had a pleasant blue, green or amber tinge although clear glass was not unknown. Aside from being quite essential household articles they were also frequently utilized as funerary objects. A vessel such as this could have been used to store scented oils or perfumes. Our Certificate of Authenticity with guarantee is included and worldwide shipping is always free.
