Ca. 100-300 AD A free-blown glass flask featuring a flattened globular lower body on a concave base with a pontil scar, a flaring neck, and an everted rim. While glass-making had been practiced for centuries, the Romans invented the glassblowing technique in the 1st century BC, which revolutionized this craft. Roman glassmakers reached incredible artistic heights with both free-blown vessels and mould-blown forms and decorations. By the Late Roman period (4th-5th century AD), good quality glass tableware such as this one was relatively uncommon and could have been used as a showpiece and perhaps even as an indicator of social standing or wealth within the Late Roman household, especially when displayed in the public area of the house.

Ca. 100-300 AD A yellowish glass flask with a folded rim, tubular neck and a globular body with slightly concave base. Glass was a major manufacturing industry in the Roman Empire, especially after the invention of glassblowing in the middle of the first century BC, when glass became used for a variety of purposes including vessels, jewellery and construction materials such as glass or tiles. Roman glassmaking reached the farthest corners of the Empire and flourished until about 400 AD, when the Roman Empire started to disintegrate, finally falling in the late 5th century AD. Vessels would probably have been used for perfumes, oils (used as soap) and/or medicines in antiquity.
