Bottle with Trailed Decoration

3rd-5th century (Roman-Late Antique) H: 4 7/8 in. (12.4 cm) Citation Source image

This Roman glass bottle was blown rather than being formed around a clay core, as were the earlier Egyptian examples. Invented around 50 BC in the region of Syria and Palestine, the technique of blowing glass revolutionized glassmaking.
