Vessel

Grayed over and green in places, the glass has taken on the look of stone.

This vessel dates to the 7th century. It is blown glass. Small blown glass flasks and bottles were common across the Mediterranean and Middle East for centuries and were generally used for oils and perfumes. This one is short and stout, with a wide neck and a thick, uneven rim. The sides are slightly dented, and the surface is rough, crusted in cream and green. The color has largely faded from the glass. It is 1.5 inches wide, 1.5 deep and 2 high.

It has aged more gracefully than most of us.
