- Lot Description
Roman, Imperial period, ca. 1st to 2nd century CE. A dazzling dipper cup or pan known as a trulla, made from translucent blue green glass to present a deep, ribbed bowl and a folded rim with an extending flared handle, all sitting upon a low, ring-shaped foot. Pressed onto the rim, the flat, ribbon-form handle draws out diagonally with a trailed off back along its underside and additional trailing along the rim. The word "trulla" can be defined as "ladle" or "dipper." They were widely used in the Roman Empire, serving as ritual objects in religious ceremonies for libations or for drinking or pouring purposes and even in bathing activities, though are not commonly made from glass like this example. The ribbed bowl of this trulla is incredibly rare and beautifully complemented by the lustrous, rainbow iridescence of the glass. Size: 4.2" L x 2.8" W x 1.8" H (10.7 cm x 7.1 cm x 4.6 cm)
