From an important London collection of glass, 1990s.
These late Roman double cosmetic tubes were mainly produced in the Eastern provinces. They were formed as two tubes, side by side, made from a single bubble of glass by pinching the sides vertically to form a diaphragm. The decoration consisted of a trail wound once around the body just below the rim, and a further trail wound in a spiral several times around the body.
