Ancient Roman Glass Cosmetic Juglet with spout

Roman Period 300 – 500 CE, 4” Inches High and 2.5” Inches Wide

 Intact and in very good condition, a Roman Glass Cosmetic Juglet with spout, of Green color with snake-line decorations on the body and a thick handle. Such vessels have frequently been called "feeder bottles," although they are more likely to be used for pouring oil and other liquids onto food or into other receptacles.

 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.
