Abstract: Technological revolutions and work organisation. Technology and social improvements. Glass was the preferred material in Roman times for containing drinks, especially wine, as may have been the case with this bottle for table service. It is a clear example of the transformation of an ancient material, glass, considered a luxury product, into a popular and easily accessible one thanks to the new blowing technique.
