Ancient Roman Bottle?

[bearswede]

Does this appear to be a genuine bottle blown during Roman times (the first few centuries AD)...?

Hey Ron, I've seen a couple of them sell on E-bay from a person in Britain.. They looked a lot like your bottle, but actually a little more clear. The shapes were identicle to yours with the same style neck and impressions around the top. Is this one up for sale somewhere, or is it one of yours?

Hi Bob... Many thanks for your response... I truly appreciate it when folks take the time to answer...

I was the high bidder on ebay, but didn't make the reserve... I'm anticipating a second-chance offer...

Actually, in researching for this I found a site that deals in antiquities... One of their categories was ancient glass and they had some nice Roman bottles for what I took to be reasonable prices...

Doesn't seem to be a lot of interest in ancient glass amongst our forum brethren (and sistren)...

Thanks again, Bob... Looking forward to June!!!!
