DescriptionThis glass bottle from the 4th century CE has a tall cylindrical shape and a single handle. It was made by blowing glass and shaping it with tools. The body may have been formed in a mold at first, but then reshaped to create its final form. A ring of glass was added around the rim, and the handle runs from the shoulder up to the neck.
