Lot 0285: ANCIENT ROMAN GLASS PILGRIM FLASK 100 TO 300 AD

41 reviews

An ancient Roman glass pilgrim flask. Circa 100 to 300 AD. The pilgrim flask is made of light green glass with a flattened, rounded shape and a short neck, as well as a pair of handles connecting the neck to the hangers. Pilgrim flasks like this one were made by blowing out a standard shaped flask and then giving it a flat shape. The name of this vessel comes from bottles similar to flasks that were once worn by pilgrims. Scientists have also suggested that such flasks were used as vessels for sacred oil. Ancient Roman Glassware Collectibles.
