Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 3rd to 4th century CE. A free-blown pouring jug, free-blown from translucent, aquamarine-hued glass, with a piriform body and a sage-green trail handle. Vessels like this were used for holding perfumes and scented oils in toilettes and were highly prized by wealthy Roman women. The elegant silhouette of this vessel is only complemented by areas of soft, rainbow-hued iridescence. Size: 3.2" L x 2.5" W x 5.625" H (8.1 cm x 6.4 cm x 14.3 cm); 6" H (15.2 cm) on included custom stand.

Most scholars agree, Roman glass was of the highest quality - both aesthetically and technically - among the ancients. While glass making had been practiced for centuries, glass blowing was invented in the Roman-controlled Holy Land in the 1st century BCE. This innovative technology revolutionized the artform. We can appreciate such a wide variety of forms and shapes, because the medium of glass has unique physical properties that make for so many more possibilities which would eventually replace a wide variety of pottery and metal wares in the ancient world. Roman glassmakers reached incredible artistic heights with both free-blown vessels and mold blown forms and decorations and were traded far beyond the Roman Empire. Roman glass vessels have been found in Scandinavia, India, and in Han Dynasty tombs in China.
