Anointment Jars Before the Roman period, glass was very valuable and very scarce.  Glass was even more valuable than Gold during the Hellenistic period.  These glass vessels were made in a sand core mold and were limited to only very small vessels.

Around the beginning of the first century, however, the Romans developed a technique of glass blowing. This allowed the creation of many new designs and shapes, and led to the widespread use of glass in the entire Roman Empire.

But when a whole Roman glass is found in a perfect condition in archaeological sites this becomes a capital and investment.

Discovered in the Jezreel Valley in Israel.
