A Flashy Unguentarium. Roman, 3rd to 4th century AD. Height: 4-1/2". A substantial piece, in thick yellow-green glass. The vase, blown with a shallow funnel mouth with a thick rim, also features a long cylindrical neck that flares out into a small piriform body. The piece sits on a broad, folded, flaring foot. Twin v-shaped handles have been applied to the rim in deep green. Swaths of astonishing iridescence appear in soft cremes and gold-orange, with additional flashy metallic greens, blues, and indigo accents. Intact and perfect, this vase will surely be a favorite in any collection.
