These small jars were used as storage vessels. Their typology shows similarities with some material from Northern Black Sea region as well as with other glass finds found in Eastern Mediterranean settlements due to the decreasing variety of forms starting from the Late Roman Period, with whom they have similarities in colour, shape and typology. Helene Wackernagel-Wenk was a distinguished collector of art and antiquities, celebrated for her refined taste and commitment to preserving cultural heritage. Her collection encompassed a wide range of artefacts, reflecting her deep appreciation for the artistic and historical significance of ancient civilizations. Known for her meticulous curation, Wackernagel-Wenk’s legacy endures through the exceptional pieces that once formed part of her esteemed collection. Artefacts associated with her name are highly valued for their provenance and quality. -
