One of my favorite glass vessels: A marvellous Roman vessel in the form of a pig, made of blue glass. It was used to hold ointment or perfume. Found in a burial in Cologne. Dating late 2nd/early 3rd century AD. 📷️ Römisch-Germanisches Museum Köln

Deep blue glass vessel shaped like a stylized animal with four legs, a pointed snout, and decorative ridges along its back, resembling a whimsical pig.

This morning, marvellous waxy, tight, pink buds.

An hour ago, as the sun declines they gradually start to open.

Ten minutes ago. Now showing their throats. The link will fade quite fast.
