The bottles with handles, well spread in the West, in the Vesuvian centers and northern Italy, were vases used as pantry and canteen containers or for the transport and domestic storage of oil and wine. Could be blown within open molds, with a negative mark on the external bottom, or made with free blowing and flattened on a rigid surface. Their production begins in the first half of the first century AD and continues until the early third century AD.
