Description from the seller
ROMAN GLASS BOTTLE
Gallo-Roman glass bottle on an elegant pedestal.
Globular body, tall straight neck and wide flared lip, delicately folded back vertically at its edge.
This bottle probably formed part of a dinner service.
Very pretty iridescence. The glass is partially covered by a multicolored layer, formed by oxidation caused by the centuries.
A light earthy layer covers the glass in places, left intentionally but can be removed with a simple damp cloth.

Dimensions: height 13.8 cm x diameter 6.2 cm.
In perfect condition, piece completely intact.
