Roman, Syria Palaestina, Sprinkler Flask, 3rd - 4th Century A.D.
|Glass| |Antiquities|, |Roman,| |Syria| |Palaestina,| |Sprinkler| |Flask,| |3rd| |-| |4th| |Century| |A.D.|, Dropper bottles, such as this one, were filled with scented oil or perfume. The constriction in the neck made it easy to dispense the expensive contents one drop at a time. The swirled design was created by blowing the body into a ribbed mold, removing the glass from the mold, then blowing it again while twisting the bubble. The most unusual feature on this flask is the recessed neck, pushed into the body, a very rare feature.
