Roman glassblowers were skilled at creating
glass objects which show the symmetry and
care
given to such fragile objects as simple as this
flask, which stands 7.5 cm from base to rim.
Glass vessels such as this flask were rather
common throughout the ancient Roman
empire
and time has attractively added an
opalescence
to the object, mostly due to salts seeping out
from the glass.
Olive green in color, free blown spherical
body,
with a tall cylindrical neck, the collar rim
folded
down, up and out, with a slightly indented
base.
