From an important London collection of glass, 1990s. This lot is accompanied by an illustrated lot declaration signed by the Head of the Antiquities Department, Dr Raffaele D'Amato.
The object is certainly Late Roman in shape, although similar typologies did also exist in early Islamic glasswork. The bottle was probably blown into a flat mould to produce the ribs, then expanded and tooled to form the body. -
