Lot 458
Lot of Three Flasks. Roman, c. 2nd - 5th century AD. Heights: 2-1/4" - 6". Earliest a medium-size bottle, with inward rolled rim, and piriform body with indented base. Also a second miniature version of the first, but body wider and more flattened. Lastly, another medium-size flask of later date, with rimless funnel mouth/neck on sharply ovate body, also with indented base. All blown from green glass. All with pleasant thin to opaque silvery iridescence, with varying nuances of greens, violets and magentas, mostly subdued. The first bottle with minor age crack on base, which is stable and seemingly solid; the second repaired at body; the third a more robust bottle and seemingly free of any problems. A good value priced lot.
Estimated Value $400 - 600.
