Glass barrel jug 3th century

This 3rd-century glass barrel jug, on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the artistry of Roman glassblowers. The jug's distinctive barrel shape, crafted from translucent greenish glass, is accented by a series of horizontal rings that add a touch of visual interest. The jug's small size suggests it was likely used for holding perfumes, oils, or other liquids. Its presence in a museum collection speaks to its enduring historical and aesthetic value.
