An Early Islamic Black and White Glass Bottle, Circa 8th–10th Century CE.

A small early Islamic glass bottle with a rounded base and short cylindrical neck, decorated in black and white with continuous wavy trail patterns encircling the body and top. The marvered design creates a striking contrast, typical of early Islamic glasswork produced in the Levant or Mesopotamia during the Abbasid period. The bottle likely served as a container for perfume or precious oils.

H: Approximately 6.3cm

Provenance: Property from the estate of a distinguished private collector (deceased); assembled between the 1970s and 2024.
