Square bottle. - Lot 164
Square bottle.
Gallo-Roman art, last quarter of 2nd century A.D.
This is a complete blue glass bottle with a square, prismatic cross-section, blown into a mold and then shaped. The bottle has a flat shoulder with a cylindrical neck and a flat lip. The lip is fitted with a wide, angled, multi-ribbed combed handle.
This type of container was probably used to transport and store liquids, domestic use having preceded their funerary use, often as cinerary urns.
Exceptional condition, a few fels but complete and large. L 28, W 14.5 cm
