Roma antica Vetro Flask con collo a imbuto
A fine Ancient Roman flask blown from translucent glass, featuring a globular body with a dimpled base. The vessel displays a funnel shaped neck which slightly flares outwards. Beautiful iridescence covers the surface along with earthly encrustation on the interior and exterior of the piece. Please note the iridescence is fragile and may flake off in places.
Glass was often the preferred material for storing expensive oils, perfumes, and medicines because it was not porous. The small neck and mouth allowed the user to carefully pour and control the amount of liquid dispensed. By the 1st century AD, the technique of glass-blowing had revolutionised the art of glass-making, allowing for the production of small medicine, incense, and perfume containers in new forms.
Measurements: H 11cm x W 6cm
Provenance: Ex London Art Market, acquired 1980s-90s.
