Graceful Double-handled Balsamarium in Deep Yellow Glass. Cf. Ede, Collecting Antiquities, fig. 308a. Roman, perhaps Syria, 3rd to 4th century AD. Height: 4-5/8". Well proportioned with an ample foot, this globular-piriform body has a medium wide neck and a funnel mouth. In the same color glass, a heavy trailed ring appears beneath the rim, and twin curved handles are narrow with wide thumbrests. The body shows mold blown, vertical ribbing. An old European collection piece with a few modest repairs that appear to have been done in the 19th or early 20 th century.
