Sphero-Conical Glass Vessel - LO.891, Origin: Central Asia, Circa: 700 AD to 1000 AD, Dimensions: 4.1" (10.4cm) high x 3" (7.6cm) wide, Collection: Islamic Art, Style: Islamic, Medium: Glass. The number of extant sphero-conical vessels in glass is limited and represents only a fraction of those made of stone and ceramic. In general they distinguish themselves for their thinner and more delicate profile, hence excluding a use as containers for quicksilver or for long distance transports.
