Description
Roman, Imperial period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A pretty unguentarium free-blown from nearly transparent light blue glass to display an elegant form of a teardrop-shaped body and a flared rim. Note the subtle yet stunning rainbow iridescence that naturally adorns areas of the surface - a gorgeous souvenir from its lengthy voyage through space and time! Just imagine this graceful vessel holding precious oils at a noble woman's toilette in ancient Rome! Size: 2" Diameter x 5.5" H (5.1 cm x 14 cm)
