Shipping is free and the vessel was in use in the Holy City at the same time that Jesus Christ was there. This jar is in excellent condition with no cracks or chips. The earliest record of true glass was discovered in Mesopotamia and was dated ca. 2500 BC. The people of the Roman Empire used more glass articles than any other ancient civilization and by the first century AD glass items were commonplace. Glass for ordinary use had a pleasant blue, amber or green color although clear glass was not unknown.
