Description
Ca. 100-300 AD. Roman. A pale green glass flask with a flat base, a bell-shaped, tapering body, and a funnel neck decorated with horizontal lines; attractive iridescent surface. Excellent condition. While glass-making had been practised for centuries, the Romans invented the glassblowing technique in the 1st century BC, which revolutionized this craft. Roman glassmakers reached incredible artistic heights with both free-blown vessels and mould blown forms and decorations.
