Islamic Mold-Blown Olive Green Glass Perfume Sprinkler - GF.0084, Origin: Jericho, Israel, Circa: 900 AD to 1200 AD, Dimensions: 9" (22.9cm) high x 3.5" (8.9cm) wide, Catalogue: V1, Collection: Near Eastern, Style: Islamic, Medium: Glass. Centuries ago, during the golden age of Islam, this graceful vessel was perhaps filled with the perfume of jasmine or roses which scented the halls of some noble home. That world has faded like ancient flowers, yet in this lovely and delicate souvenir we can still appreciate the opulence and luxury of the age that created it.
