Ancient Roman Glass Bottle - Unguentarium - Superb! Circa 1st-3rd century AD This nice bottle crafted from glass features a piriform lower body that gracefully tapers to a long tubular neck, culminating in an everted and pronounced rim. In the Roman world, vessels like this were used to contain oils, perfumes, and ointments. The constricted neck served a practical purpose, controlling the dispensing of the precious contents and preventing spillage. Cf. The British Museum, Museum number 2018,5010.21.
