2nd to 4th century AD, Roman Bag-like Beaker or Jar, Very Fine.
3-5/8 high." Delicately formed from a clear or pale green glass, this bottle is crafted with a short funnel mouth that has an outwardly rolled rim, and a wide piriform body which has been deeply indented on the sides to form a square. The piece sits atop a folded thick ring foot. Neatly trailed glass threads appear at the neck. The bottle is intact and perfect. Very clean but for the inner surface on one side. With fine blue, green, silver and purple iridescence. Choice, unusual shape. Cf. G.A.E. Vol. 1, pl. 69a; Newark, figs. 109, 373, 374.
