Item Details
Description
4th-6th century A.D. Bulbous in profile with dimpled underside, blown construction, everted rolled rim. Cf. Whitehouse, D., Roman Glass in the Corning Museum of Glass, vol.1, New York, 1997, item 217, for type; Oliver, A. Jr., Ancient Glass, In the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, 1980, p.111, no.180, for similar. 13.2 grams, 64 mm (2 1/2 in.).

Acquired from Allan Cherry, Bournemouth, UK, 2006. Ian Wilkinson collection, Nottinghamshire, UK.

Similar flasks and bottles were produced in Roman Asia Minor; this is a typical example of a type found in all corners of the empire. These were decorated in many ways including applying additional pieces of glass, by cutting the surface, or (as in our case) by moulding the vessels when they were blown. [No Reserve]
