Sprinkler Flask, 3rd-4th century A.D. Additional Info: This mold-blown sprinkler flask is made of green glass. The seam mark indicates that this flask was blown in a two-part mold. Its spherical body, resting on a concave base, is decorated with honeycomb pattern. The cylindrical neck ends with a wide outsplayed mouth and lip folded inwards. This flask is badly weathered. The glass has become opaque due to iridescence and dark accretions.
