Dating back 2,000+ years, these vessels were found in Mazar-i-Sharif, Afghanistan, and were once used to hold oils and perfumes. Their silvery, iridescent patina developed over centuries underground as the glass slowly reacted with moisture and minerals in the surrounding soil.
Ranging from $40 - $240
