Description
Roman, Imperial period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. An opulent flask, free-blown from translucent blue green glass to boast and elegant form. The long, slender body gently expands from a narrow base to fluted walls and a flattened shoulder. The conical neck then flares out to a folded rim with one area slightly drooping - a wonderfully unique flaw left by the ancient glass blower. A pair of trailed handles with petite thumb rests connect the neck to the rim, while gorgeous flakes of rainbow and silver iridescence are scattered throughout the surface. Size: 2.1" W x 7.3" H (5.3 cm x 18.5 cm); 8.1" H (20.6 cm) on included custom stand.
