This mint quality Roman glass "sprinkler" flask dates circa 3rd century AD and is in flawless condition. This piece is approximately 3.25 inches high, is larger than most examples, and has a nice silver/gold patina. This piece has a light blue-green color and has spotty mineral deposits. The name "sprinkler" flask is a modern day name given to a flask of this type, as it was designed with an interior valve and a wide, flat opening. This allowed for the contained liquid to sprinkle, rather than pour. This piece was also mold made from two separate halves, and the main body has a lattice-work type design. This piece is scarce in this condition with this clear molded design. This piece is seen on a clear plexiglas stand that is included. Ex: New York private collection. Ex: Fortuna Fine Arts, New York. I certify that this piece is authentic as to date, culture, and condition:

This mint quality Roman glass flask is in flawless condition with no chips and/or cracks. This light green piece is a scarce "tripod flask", with three legs that were made at the base. This piece stands in an upright position and was made to market a precious oil or unguent. The top was made with a ring below the lip, and this design made the vessel easy to seal. This piece is approximately 3.5 inches high and dates circa early 3rd century A.D. (For a comparable see Hayes, John, "Roman and Pre-Roman Glass in the Royal Ontario Museum", Toronto, Canada, 1975, no. 150.) The above reference suggests that these pieces with pinched feet come from Syria, and the example cited here is also a light green color as the piece offered here. This piece has light brown deposits and is a nice example of Roman glass that is a scarce design. Ex: J. Malter collection, Los Angeles, CA.
