Roman glass bottle in the shape of a fish, 1st-2nd century A.D.
Zadar Museum of Ancient Glass,Croatia
In my reading of the Louvre’s database we’ve passed into the Common Era! I thought I would reblog this spectacular fish bottle to celebrate. ( x)
[ID: A photograph of a glass bottle suspended from thin cord or wire; the bottle has a long neck and narrow mouth, which forms a sort of tail to the fish. The fish itself is delicately wrought with scales, gills, a large eye, and a small mouth that would form the “base” of the bottle. It is light green but translucent, lit from behind by shaded windows.]
