- Lot Description
Ancient Near East, modern day Iran, early Islamic, ca. 7th to 8th century CE. A stunning bowl of a sizable form, mold-formed from translucent pale-green glass. The vessel is defined by a concave base and a smooth pontil scar, gently-flared walls, a deep basin with a notable central kick, and a slightly-collared rim with a smoothed lip. A series of pattern-molded concentric circles are presented in relief along the lower body with dozens of thick columns radiating from above. Faint layers of silvery iridescence envelop the entire vessel while a ring of pale golden iridescence encircles the rim. Size: 6.8" W x 3.125" H (17.3 cm x 7.9 cm).
