Product Description

A beautiful blue-green Ancient Roman blown glass bottle, having a tapered or bulbous body, cylindrical neck and a slightly flared lip. Good iridescent surface patinas with scattered encrustation.

Roman glass objects have been recovered across the Roman Empire in domestic, industrial, and funerary contexts. Glass was used primarily for the production of vessels. During the 1st century CE the industry underwent rapid technical growth that saw the introduction of glass blowing and the dominance of colorless or 'aqua' glasses.

Production of raw glass was undertaken in geographically separate locations to the working of glass into finished vessels. By the end of the 1st century CE, large scale manufacturing resulted in the establishment of glass as a commonly available material in the Roman world, and one which also had technically very difficult specialized types of luxury glass, which must have been very expensive.
