Abstract
A glass bottle, found in a Roman tomb of the third century B.C., was restored in the laboratories of the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki, Greece. The bottle is made of a transparent blown glass with a slight green tinge. Although broken, it is in good condition except for a small area suffering from devitrification. The object was cleaned with ethyl alcohol and deionized water in equal parts (dry mud) then mechanically with a scalpel and pin (surface, holes, and difficult-to-reach areas). The devitrified areas were coated with 5% Paraloid B72 in acetone. The adhesives used were Loctite Glass Bond for the body and Profix Spezial-Kleber (porcelain/glass) for the handle. The few missing areas were not gapfilled. -- AATA
