Ca. 100–200 AD. A free-blown sprinkler flask of transparent aquamarine glass featuring a cylindrical flaring neck and a funnel-shaped mouth. The globular body is decorated with small, pinched knobs. There are patches of beautiful iridescence throughout the flask. Small flasks are one of the most common forms of Roman glass. This sprinkler is distinguished by having an inner disk at the base of the neck with only a small opening for the liquid to pass through. This feature, as well as the broad, funnel-shaped mouth, probably indicates that the flask held precious liquids, such as perfumed oil, which had to be carefully conserved.

Ca. 1st-3rd century AD. Blown glass flask with a roughly cuboid body and an elongated neck that flares outwards towards the top. Deep green-brown hue. Roman glass expanded upon Hellenistic techniques with the arrival of glass blowing in the 1st century, popularising the material and allowing the manufacture of vessels that looked ethereal, then and now, with swirling colours that catch the light magnificently. Although the Romans did not invent glass, they certainly revolutionised it. Developing techniques of glass blowing, it allowed them to create unusual shapes, make the glass thinner and have it be accessible for large proportion of the population.Size: L:120mm / W:70mm ; 45gProvenance: From the private collection of Mr. R. Unger; previously with a London gallery; acquired in before 2000 on the UK art market.

Ca. 100-300 AD. A glass flask with a spherical body, a short funnel-shaped neck and a wide, flanged profile mouth. Some weathering and incrustation occur throughout the flask; the outside shows a beautiful iridescence. At the height of its popularity and usefulness in Rome, glass was present in nearly every aspect of daily life from a lady's morning toilette to a merchant's afternoon business dealings to the evening 'cena' (dinner). Glass was often the preferred material for storing toilette oils, perfumes, and medicines in antiquity because it was not porous. These glass vessels are found frequently at Hellenistic and Roman sites, and the liquids which filled them (perfumes, oils, medicines) would have been gathered from all corners of the expansive Roman Empire.

Size: L:70mm / W:60mm ; 40gProvenance: Private UK collection; From an old London collection formed in the 1990s.
Ca. 100-200 AD. A beautiful blown flask with an ovoid-shaped body, funnel-shaped neck with ribbed horizontal decoration, and two vertical trailed handles. Good condition, beautiful iridescence. The accretions (also known as 'weathering crusts') that are visible on the vessel are a result of age – the item has spent hundreds of years in the ground – and chemical reactions with the soil in which it was buried. While glass-making had been practised 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.
