One of the earliest types of blown-glass vessels in an elongated bottle with a short body and a long neck. The content of such bottles could be poured out slowly, in tiny drops, and the small mouth was easily stoppered. This type of bottle was popular during the Roman period all throughout the Empire, exhibiting very little variation. Used as containers for perfumes and scented oils, there were frequently placed in burial caves and are thus sometimes referred to as "TEAR BOTTLES" believed to have used for collecting the tears of mourners .
