Ancient Roman Bottle

Ancient Roman wheel-thrown redware pottery bottle with a full ovoid body, gently sloping shoulders and a tall, slightly tapering cylindrical neck. The neck terminates in a broad, outward-flaring disc-shaped rim surrounding a relatively narrow opening. The vessel rests on a small flattened base. On the lower body several finger prints of the potter remain visible. This type of vessel would have been used for storing and dispensing liquids, potentially including oil, wine or other household preparations. Height: ± 18.3 cm Good solid condition, intact. Minor chips, surface deposits and irregularities, with signs of wear consistent with age and use. Inside the jar are hardened remnants of the original content.
