About the Item

This charming perfume vessel with layered patina has survived the centuries with its beauty intact. The flattened body rises to a long and graceful cylindrical neck with an everted rim. This style of elongated bottle, with a short body and a long neck, is one of the earliest types of free blown-glass vessels found. The content of such bottles could be poured out slowly, in tiny drops, and the small mouth was easily stoppered. Notes This type of bottle was popular during the Roman period all throughout the Empire, exhibiting very little variation. Used as containers for perfumes and scented oils, they were frequently placed in burial caves and are thus sometimes referred to as "TEAR BOTTLES" believed to have used for collecting the tears of mourners . Provenance Khalil Iskander Shahin Antiquities, Jurusalem. Frank Isbey Estate, Midwest USA, acquired in 1965 from the above. Thence by descent. With Authentication Letter from the Curator of the Palestinian Archeological Museum, 1965.
