| 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. I certify that this vessel is authentic as to date, culture, and condition: | |||||||
