Vessel

Tall, narrow flask in sea green with a mouth that has seen better days.

This blown glass vessel of the Islamic period is Islamic, and dates to the 7th century. Glass that has been buried for centuries often takes on an iridescent surface as its outer layers weather, a change that is common in archaeological glass. Slender bottle with a straight body, a flared neck and a rough, chipped rim. The translucent green deepens toward the base, with frosty tan patches of weathering and a few small bubbles. It is 1 inches wide, 1 deep and 3.5 high.

Tall, thin, and a little iridescent about it.
