Lot 451
An Extraordinary Bottle. Roman, c. 2nd to 3rd century AD. Height: 10-1/4". This bottle is an unusual variant to the typical unguentarium. While the globular body and long tapering neck are normal. The size, coupled with the rounded funnel mouth with trailed threading, set this apart from the norm. Blown in aqua glass, the bottle is intact and perfect! Its remarkable preservation is further enhanced with zones of vivid multi-colored iridescence. A highly fortunate survival from antiquity, it is worthy of any advanced glass collection.
Estimated Value $1,250 - 1,500.
