Perfume Sprinkler (Qumqum)
11th–mid-13th century
This long-necked glass bottle with a ring-shaped body would have been used for disseminating rosewater or another aromatic substance mixed with water. Rosewater was used for cooking and as a perfume to be sprinkled on guests at the end of a meal. The production of such sprinklers in Syria from the late eleventh to the mid-thirteenth century reflects another aspect of courtly manners in which attractiveness in all its forms was prized.

I’m pretty sure you could buy something more or less identical to this today at any museum gift shop. 
[ID: A very modern-looking glass vase, with a cylindrical body ending in a narrower neck; glass handles are attached to the flared mouth of the vase and the “shoulder” of the body, and there is delicate fluting on the body, with a small glass “cord” wrapped around the neck.]
