Item Details

Description

Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 2nd to 3rd century CE. An elegant, hand-blown green glass double unguent of a semi-translucent composition. The vessel has a flat base with a rough pontil, two parallel tubular containers, rolled rims, and a pair of applied undulating trail handles. Faint areas of silvery and rainbow-hued iridescence envelop the smooth glass surface in hues of citrine, emerald, sapphire, amethyst, and ruby. Wealthy women in ancient Rome would employ these pieces to contain their precious unguents and oils. Another use was as a double kohl vessel containing two colors of eye makeup. Vessels like this have also been found in tombs and were used to contain scented oils or precious cosmetics for the deceased to carry into the next world. Custom lucite display stand included. Size: 1.75" W x 4.5" H (4.4 cm x 11.4 cm); 5" H (12.7 cm) on included custom stand.
