All auctions / Ancient Art / Ancient Roman - Roman glass bottle - 1st / 3rd centuries AD.
LARGE ROMAN GLASS BOTTLE Blown-moulded glass bottle dating from the Roman period. Flat base, cylindrical body, short straight neck topped by a wide flat lip, double. The bottle shows iridescent patches in places with multicolored reflections. The bottle was blown in a mold (a technique generally used for more complex pieces), hence the absence of a pontil. Dating: 1st - 3rd centuries CE, Dimensions: height 14.3 cm - diameter 6.4 cm Very good overall condition - minor cracks consolidated Provenance: Dutch private collection, assembled between 1970 and 1974 by a collector working for the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and stationed in North Africa. Glass was precious in Roman times, used mainly for perfumes and for adornment. The vase is covered with an iridescent layer formed by the oxidation of the glass over the centuries, attesting to its antiquity..
