Item Details
Description
Rome, Imperial period, ca. 1st to 4th century CE. An iridescent example of a sprinkler flask, designed to "sprinkle" precious liquids like perfume or unguents and prevent their evaporation, likely made to be used as part of an ancient Roman's daily beauty routine. A bulbous, piriform body is topped by a thin, slightly flaring neck with a wide, high-sided rim. The craftsmanship is exquisite, emphasizing the abilities of the vitriarii the Roman glass makers, who had perfected the art of glass blowing. Size: 3.875" H (9.8 cm)
