Product Details

Early Roman Herodian Period 37 BCE – 70 CE, 6.7” Inches High and 1.9” Inches Wide

A Roman flask of translucent pale blue glass features a funnelled rim and a pear-shaped body that stands on a flattened base. It is intact in very good condition and exhibits a lovely silver patina.

In the middle of the 1st century BC, just as Rome was emerging as the Mediterranean’s dominant political, military, and economic power, a technique pioneered by Syrian craftsmen arrived: glassblowing. It revolutionized the industry overnight, allowing the Romans to produce glass much more quickly, at a fraction of the cost and on a vast scale.
