DescriptionThis small glass bottle from the first half of the first century CE is made from pale green glass with tiny bubbles. It has a flared rim, a narrow neck with a slight narrowing at the bottom, and a rounded tubular body. The base is flat, and the bottle was shaped by blowing and tooling the glass by hand.
