EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two barrel-shaped bottles dating back to the 2nd-3rd century AD. Crafted from glass, these exquisite vessels stand at impressive heights of 18.8 and 17.4 cm respectively. Currently housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK, they offer a glimpse into ancient Roman craftsmanship. These remarkable bottles were not mere decorative pieces; their purpose was utilitarian in nature. Designed for transporting and storing various liquids such as oil and wine, they played an essential role in daily life during that era. Discovered in Amiens, France, their historical significance is undeniable. The vibrant green hue of these molded bottles adds to their allure while the prismatic shape enhances their classical appeal. A sturdy handle completes each bottle's design, ensuring ease of use during transportation. Through this image captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness a tangible piece of history preserved within the walls of the Ashmolean Museum. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' ingenuity and resourcefulness when it came to everyday objects like these glass vessels.
