Item Details
Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 3rd century CE. A delicate jar of apple-shaped form that is free-blown from translucent, turquoise-hued glass. Surrounding the lower body are several gently pinched areas that create a tactile motif on the surface. The collared rim has an everted lip to facilitate pouring the vessel's contents, and beneath the body is a rough pontil scar that exemplifies the hands-on craftsmanship. Size: 3.3" W x 3.375" H (8.4 cm x 8.6 cm)
