Ca. 1st-2nd Century AD 
A set of two contrasting pieces of Roman blown glass. The first is an aubergine coloured cylindrical bottle with four panelled sides, a rounded shoulder, and rolled lip. It is unusual in that the panels have been hand-impressed. The other vessel is a small blue-green glass jug with an applied ribbon type handle and vertical ribbed cylindrical body.
