- Lot Description
Rome, Imperial Period, late 1st century BCE to 1st century CE. An exquisite, marbled or marvered mosaic glass (also called color band glass) petite bowl of stunning teal, cerulean blue, kelly green, and seafoam green hues. Due to its delicate size, this vessel readily fits into the palm of a human hand. What's more, the aesthetic of the piece boasts beautiful washes of color - akin to Impressionism which French artist's introduced in the mid-19th century - almost 1900 years later. Quite dreamy and beautiful, especially when one holds it to the light! A wonderful example, replete with the finest technique and artistry. Size: 3.875" in diameter x 1.625" H (9.8 cm x 4.1 cm)
The mosaic technique oftentimes resulted in glass that the ancient Roman naturalist and philosopher Pliny the Elder described as possessing "eyes" due to the repeated eyelet motifs across the surface (Pliny, Natural History XXXVI.199 - Loeb translation by D.E.Eichholz (1962), vol. 10, p. 157). This example, however, has a more subtle aesthetic without such canes/eyes, but instead boasting gorgeous washes of color that present in a rather Impressionistic manner - hence the term color band.
Provenance: private East Coast, USA collection; ex-Norman Moscowitz collection, Florida, USA, acquired in 2000s; ex-Richard Wagner collection, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA, collected in the 1960s. Examined and authenticated by Dr. Sid Goldstein, a leading authority on ancient glass who was with Corning Glass for many years as well as curator at The St. Louis Art Museum
