“Roman glass cup from the Himlingøje burial site in Denmark, from 2nd and 3rd century, found in graves of a rich or princely family. [Cups like this one] are so well-preserved that finders have used them mistakenly as vases for flowers, without realizing that they were ancient productions.”

Beautiful pieces! Imagine having them in your home and unknowingly using them as flower vases... Must have been a funny conversation once they realized how old they actually were
