This bottle exemplifies the transitional period in glass production, when blowing replaced casting and core-form production. These vessels were essentially cast and then inflated. Some transitional vessels were formed of fused canes, or, as here, with applied trailing. For the subject and some related examples see p. 39ff. in Whitehouse, Roman Glass in The Corning Museum of Glass, vol. I.
