Description
This small green bottle from the 1st century CE was formed by blowing and shaping hot glass. It has a folded rim, a long neck that narrows at the bottom, and a rounded body with a sunken base. Three short feet were pulled from the lower body and shaped by hand. Small air bubbles are visible throughout the glass, and a circular mark remains where it was separated from the blowing rod.
