Roman Empire Glass Unguentarium – 1st to 3rd Century AD A fine Roman free-blown glass unguentarium featuring a slender cylindrical neck rising from a pear-shaped body and terminating in a gently flared rim. Manufactured in pale green translucent glass, the vessel displays the characteristic iridescence, weathering, and mineral deposits acquired during nearly two millennia of burial. The elegant proportions and elongated neck identify it as a classic Roman perfume or cosmetic flask, intended for storing precious oils, perfumes, medicinal preparations, or aromatic essences. Its delicate form and well-preserved ancient surface make it an example of Roman glass craftsmanship. Material: Glass Dimensions: 13.5 cm high Weight: 40.27 g Provenance: Acquired in France. Former French private collection assembled during the 1970s. We guarantee the authenticity of the pieces, backed by the combined experience of our experts spanning more than 40 years. A Certificate of Authenticity (CoA) will be sent digitally by email. This item has been legally acquired under European Law.
