- Lot Description
Roman, Eastern Roman Empire, Imperial Period, ca. late 3rd to 4th century CE. An exquisite free-blown oinochoe comprised of translucent green glass. The vessel is defined by a concave footed base and a rough pontil scar, a globular body with a rounded shoulder, a squat neck, a trefoil spout, and an applied trail handle with a projecting thumb rest on top. Though the exterior is covered in thick layers of weathering film, sections of fiery silver and rainbow-hued iridescence are still visible. Used for storing and dispensing small quantities of precious scented oils, this is a wonderful example of high-quality Roman craftsmanship! Size: 2.2" W x 4.25" H (5.6 cm x 10.8 cm).
For a stylistically-similar example with a shorter body, please see "Shining Vessels: Ancient Glass from Greek, Roman and Islamic Times." Fortuna Fine Arts, Ltd., New York, 1991, p. 68, fig. 122.

#139520Repair to thumb rest with very light adhesive residue along break line. Minor nicks to foot, body, and rim, with some micro-bubbles within glass matrix, and thick weathering film. A pontil scar or mark indicates that a vessel was free-blown (while the absence of such a mark suggests that the work was either mold-blown or that the mark was intentionally smoothed away or wore away over time). Nice earthen deposits as well as great silver and rainbow iridescence throughout.Condition
