Lot of Four Ancient Roman Iridescent Glass Double Alabastron Tear Glasses Perfume Bottles Amphora

Item Details

Description

Described By:Sam 1595 8075

Title:Lot of Four Ancient Roman Iridescent Glass Double Alabastron Tear Glasses Perfume Bottles Amphora Balsamarium Unguentarium Ampulla

Description: A lot of four, gorgeous, iridescent Ancient Roman glass vials and bottles. The iridescence of these pieces is due to iron oxide and other mineral components of the glass undergoing a chemical process after their burial giving them this beautiful, mystical, and mysterious hue. The lot contains two thin-necked bottles, likely perfume or oil bottles that are equally likely to have been used in daily-life, and in funerary ceremonies as their contents would have been prized for both such purposes. The same sentiment may be assigned the double-vial Alabastron, similar or synonymous with balsamarium and unguentraium. The largest piece in the lot, the double handled ampulla/amphora, is reminiscent of a Garum bottle –a type of Roman condiment made from fermented oily fish, usually mackerel- though these are almost always composed of fired clay and notorious for their smell, and this glass example is more likely to have been used for other, more significant purposes. While these pieces are authentic, and Roman, the vastness of the empire during their approximate creation date(s) (somewhere between 300 B.C.E and 200 C.E.), we are unable to place them into an exact locale without the utilization of a mass spectrometer to analyze the exact isotopes and their concentrations within the glass to compare with existing data on the silicate composition from the multitude of regions and climates that comprised the Roman Republic and Empire.

Type of Piece:Ancient Roman Glass

Measurements:Double-Vial: 4.5 x 2.5 x 0.5 inches; Smallest Bottle: 3 x 1 x 1 inches; Largest Thin-Neck Bottle: 4.25 x 2.5 x 1.5 inches; Double-Handled Amphora/Ampulla: 4.5 x 2.5 x 2 inches.

Condition:Very good given age and history. Both handled bottles have largely-intact handles. All bottles are functional in the sense that they can be filled with liquid without leaking. Each has their own distinctive patina and sediment buildup.

Estimated weight of piece:Total: 182.42 grams.
