Item Details

Description

Ancient Rome, ca. 3rd to 4th century CE. A superb ancient Roman sprinkler flask comprised of free blown blue-green translucent glass with a globular, almost pear-shaped body adorned with pinched decorations and a splayed and tooled everted rim and rounded lip, an applied slender ring around the lower neck, and dimpled bottom. Sprinkler vases were used to sprinkle precious often scented rose water or perfumes. Beyond its graceful form, brilliant color, and expert technique, time has also contributed to its aesthetic as areas of rainbow irridescence delight the eye! Size: 4-1/4" x 2-7/8" at widest

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, the Romans invented glass blowing in the 1st century BCE which 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 than metal or clay. Roman glassmakers reached incredible artistic heights with both free-blown vessels and mould blown forms and decorations.
