Description from the seller

Roman glass bottle with triple-threaded neck – Eastern Mediterranean, 2nd–3rd century AD – Ex Paul Sadargue collection (1924–1942)

Description

Elegant Roman glass bottle with a rounded globular body and a tall cylindrical neck decorated with three applied horizontal threads.
Blown in pale transparent glass with natural weathering, iridescence and mineral deposits typical of Eastern Mediterranean burials.

This type represents one of the more refined production forms of the Roman Levant, and the triple threading on the neck identifies it as a higher-grade vessel.

Material

Blown glass, pale transparent, with natural patina.

Period / Culture

Roman Empire – Eastern Mediterranean
2nd–3rd century AD

Dimensions

Height: 122 mm

Condition

Very good condition.
Complete, unrestored, with natural weathering and mineral deposits.
No visible repairs.

Provenance

From the collection of Paul SADARGUE, surveyor for the Régie du cadastre des États de Syrie et du Liban (1924–1942).
Thence by descent in a French private collection.
