            <display>Four blown or core-formed glass vessels grouped together to illustrate classic Greek vessel shapes: the aryballos, alabastron, amphoriskos, and oinochoe. This grouping, all made of glass and small in scale, denotes the use of all of these to hold scented oils and perfumes for grooming. The small aryballos form is a spherical subtype (plural aryballoi). The alabastron (plural alabastra) was typically carried by a cord, since the bottom is rounded. The form originated in Egypt, where they were frequently made from alabaster, hence the name.  The amphoriskos (plural amphoriskoi) and the oinochoe are miniatures of the larger amphorae and pitcher forms used for wine and olive oil.</display>
