Roman glass vessels are renowned for their pioneering glassmaking techniques dating from the 1st century BCE through the Roman Empire. This particular Roman glass container with handles likely served practical or decorative purposes, holding liquids such as perfumes, oils, or wine. Roman glass is admired for its various colors, transparency, and forms, often created by blowing molten glass into molds or shaping it freehand. The presence of handles suggests functionality for pouring or carrying. The preservation of such glass pieces is significant because ancient glass is fragile and prone to weathering. This example comes with a Spanish export license, which ensures provenance and legal compliance for collectors within the European Union. Measuring 12 cm, it represents a typical size for personal use vessels and offers valuable insight into Roman daily life and craftsmanship.
