Flask, 1st century A.D. Additional Info: Free-blown flask of several canes of amber-colored glass encased in clear glass flanked by opaque white. The canes begin at the rim and spiral down at an angle around the body, then turn and rise to the shoulder, then turn down again toward the bottom. All cane lengths are progressively wider towards the bottom, showing the main area of expansion during manufacture.
