Feeding Bottles 027

We do not make Feeding Bottles to order - these are individual vessels that are in stock and can be purchased as seen.

Possibly a multi-functional vessel. Suggested uses include feeding bottles for infants (from a scientific analysis of the remains of the contents of some forty pottery and glass examples in French and German museums), application of barbotine decoration to pottery vessels, filling of oil lamps, and the dispensing of olive oil at the table. Their presence in many infant burials may be merely symbolic rather than as examples of practical feeding vessels. They are dated to the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD.
