Rosewater Bottle
Made in a distillation process with Damask roses grown in the mountains of Iran, rosewater was kept in narrow-spouted bottles such as this one. Rosewater has many uses, including adorning the body with the floral scent. The Prophet Muhammad is said to have used it for its beautiful fragrance and its therapeutic benefits.
