Translation provided by Youdao
Ca. 1st-3rd century AD. Blown glass flask with a roughly cuboid body and an elongated neck that flares outwards towards the top. Deep green-brown hue. Roman glass expanded upon Hellenistic techniques with the arrival of glass blowing in the 1st century, popularising the material and allowing the manufacture of vessels that looked ethereal, then and now, with swirling colours that catch the light magnificently. Although the Romans did not invent glass, they certainly revolutionised it. Developing techniques of glass blowing, it allowed them to create unusual shapes, make the glass thinner and have it be accessible for large proportion of the population.Size: L:120mm / W:70mm ; 45gProvenance: From the private collection of Mr. R. Unger; previously with a London gallery; acquired in before 2000 on the UK art market.
