- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $1500**
Roman, Holyland, The Levant, Imperial Period, ca. 3rd century CE. A lovely ancient glass jar the ovoid body of this flask was blown in a two-part mold to create a stylized grape pattern rows of contiguous hemispherical knobs across the surface and a pair of leaves placed on opposite sides of the shoulder under the neck ring. The seam visible along the sides; the disk-shaped bottom was blown in a separate mold. These grape cluster shaped vessels were very popular in the Levant region of the Roman Empire, and were rendered realistically with asymmetrical sides and conical base, or in a more stylized manner, such as this example. Size: 2.5" Diameter x 5" H (6.4 cm x 12.7 cm)
The Romans enjoyed making glass vessels in novel shapes, and small bottles or flasks mold-blown in the form of dates, bunches of grapes, pinecones, or cedar cones were among their favorites. Grape flasks were made in both the eastern and western Mediterranean from the first to the fourth century CE in various styles, sizes, and shapes. Vessels originating in the eastern Mediterranean typically do not have handles. The earlier ones generally are smaller (under 10 cm) and more naturalistically rendered. Later vessels, like the present flask, are more stylized and likely to have a "collar" at the base of the neck.
