Roman blue glass jug, glass (ca. 2nd – 3rd century AD) Roman blue glass often formed naturally from iron oxide impurities in sand, which tinted molten glass as it cooled. Over time, artisans mastered the use of chemical additives, introducing cobalt to achieve a deliberate, vibrant "cobalt blue."
This design features a globular body with side indentations, a long cylindrical neck, and a pinched trefoil mouth. Such vessels were commonly used to serve wine or water in banquets.
