Vessel

Deep green and slightly squashed, this bottle has the swagger of a hand-pinched shape.

This blown glass vessel of the Islamic period is Islamic, and dates to the 7th century. Glassblowing, in which a gather of molten glass is shaped by air from a blowpipe, was developed in the Mediterranean region in the first century BCE. Squat bottle with a bulbous base and a tall wide neck that leans a little. The color is a rich dark emerald, glossy and clear in places, with a gently rumpled rim and a lopsided base. It is 1 inches wide, 1 deep and 1.5 high.

Lopsided, lovely, and not one bit sorry.
