18th Century Glass Phial, Hammond Lane Excavations, Dublin City.


It's just incredible that this delicate hand blown glass phial survived deep in the ground under our feet, compressed under almost 300 years of habitation right in the center of Dublin city. It may have contained some medicine of some kind or another. Sealed with a tiny cork, it was probably kept and re-used many times, as recycling occurred in the Post-Medieval world too!
