UNEARTHED Roman Glass Vessel with Vertical Trail Decoration
1st Century CE
An object of grace and control. This Roman glass vessel was made with intention—its surface drawn vertically with delicate, dark glass trails while molten, each stripe a frozen stroke of motion. The shape is elegant, bulbous at the base and rising to a narrow lip, as if designed for both balance and ceremony.
It once held oil or scent—something meant to linger on the skin, or in a room. Now it holds presence.
Striped free-blown glass
Early Imperial Roman
Approx. 8cm/3.25cm / 3.25”1.5”
Handle with care—this object has survived nearly two thousand years
