Lot 4716
Conical Bottle with Fine Iridescence. Roman, 1st to 2nd century AD. Cf. G.A.E. Vol. 1, fig. 66f. Height: 6-3/4". Simple, but finely proportioned and elegant, this flask has a modest funnel mouth with a carinated, rolled lip. The cylindrical neck flares into its narrow, conical body. Blown from clear or faintly yellow glass, the interior displays zoned iridescence in beautiful yellow, greens, purples, and blues, ranging from subdued and shimmering to brightly metallic. Intact and perfect. A delightful gem!
