Oenochoe with Trilobate Spout

The shape is elegant, with a globular body supported by a circular foot with an elaborate profile, and a long cylindrical neck ending in a smooth rim. The handle is distinctive: at its end, it features a large triangular decorative element, which also provides a comfortable resting place for the thumb whilst pouring.
From the 2nd century AD onwards, the Romans tended to prefer glass vessels of a natural colour (transparent, slightly bluish or green) rather than bright hues, as had been the case at the very beginning of the Imperial period.
