Early Roman mould-blown glass vessels are widespread and well-known in the museums, private collections and sale rooms of Europe and America. However, one encounters such items less frequently in the regions where a great many of them were made. Although much work has been done on the origins and early practitioners of the craft of mould-blowing, few actual vessels have been recorded in the eastern Mediterranean and Middle East. So it is pleasing that I am able to add to the list a fine example in the Gaziantep Museum. Hexagonal flask. 1st century A.D. Translucent cobalt blue glass. Blown in a three-part mould. Flat bottom. Cylindrical neck with everted rim, lip folded inward. (Fig. 1 and Pl. XIX/ a–c ). Exact find-spot not recorded; acquired by purchase in the Gaziantep region. No registration number by October 1984. Height 7·8 cm. Diameter of bottom 2·4 cm
