At the height of its popularity in Rome, glass was present in nearly every aspect of daily life.
It was a particularly favoured container for precious, valuable liquids, such as expensive oils, perfumes and medicines, which were produced from all corners of the Roman empire.
This eastern Levantine Roman unguentarium flask in blue-green glass (above), c.3rd-4th century AD, is priced at £210 from London dealership Ancient Art.
This undated painting of a gentleman in a club chair (above) is a possible self-portrait by Frank Jameson (1898-1968).
