Glass amphoriskos (perfume bottle)

Glass amphoriskos (perfume bottle). Culture: Greek, Eastern Mediterranean. Dimensions: H.: 4 7/8 in. (12.4 cm). Date: late 6th-5th century B.C.. Opaque white, with handles and base-knob in same color; trails in translucent purple. Deeply inward-sloping rim-disk; cylindrical neck tapering upward; uneven, sloping shoulder; tall conical body; large, slanting circular base-knob with rounded edge and slight indent on bottom; two vertical strap handles drawn up from shoulder, turned in, and pressed on to underside of rim-disk and top of neck. One thick, rounded trail attached at edge of rim-disk; another trail applied on shoulder and wound round spirally, at first in horizontal lines, then tooled into an irregular zigzag pattern from the greatest diameter of the body to the base-knob, with deep vertical tooling indents around upper body; another trail applied to edge of knob-base. Complete, except for weathered chip in base-knob; some pitting of large bubbles, and iridescent creamy weathering covering all surfaces, obscuring trail pattern on body. Two-handled vase with zigzag pattern.
