Description
Roman, Imperial period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A dazzling jar free blown from opulent aubergine-hued glass to present a unique form of a vertically fluted body, a corseted neck, and a wide-flaring spout, all sitting upon a planar base. Gorgeous rainbow iridescence scatters the surface - a stunning souvenir from its lengthy journey through time and space. A breathtaking testament to the opulence of the ancient Roman Empire! Size: 2.1" W x 2.4" H (5.3 cm x 6.1 cm)

Condition
Intact and excellent with beautiful iridescence and light earthen deposits throughout. Pontil mark on underside of base. A pontil scar or mark indicates that a vessel was free-blown, while the absence of such a mark suggests that the work was either mold-blown or that the mark was intentionally smoothed away or wore away over time.
