Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A gorgeous flask, expertly free blown from clear glass to present a petite cylindrical body and a dramatically elongated shoulder that stretches to a gently flared spout and rolled rim, all sitting upon a planar base. Translucent cyan-hued trailing adorns the body, wrapping horizontally to create 5 layers. A stunning example from Ancient Rome! Size: 0.9" Diameter x 4.6" H (2.3 cm x 11.7 cm)
Provenance: ex-private Virginia, USA collection, before 2000
