- Lot Description
Roman, early Imperial Period, ca. 1st century CE. An elegant bowl formed from pale blue-green glass with a flat base, wide walls with a lightly-rounded shoulder, a shallow basin, and a squat rim with a fire-polished lip. The exterior boasts dozens of pattern-molded ribs which encircle the shoulder and terminate just beneath the rim base, and the center of the interior basin is decorated with wheel-cut concentric circles. This style of glass is known as "pillar-molded," referring to the production technique, where the shape of the bowl was determined by taking a flat sheet of pliable glass and placing it into a solid mold upside-down; this glass was then worked so that it sagged/slipped over the mold to create the exterior ribs. Bowls like this one were used as part of the Roman "cena," or dinner, and perhaps held condiments like garum (fermented fish sauce). Size: 5.125" W x 1.625" H (13 cm x 4.1 cm).
For a stylistically-similar example of a pale-blue hue, please see "Solid Liquid: Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Islamic Glass." Fortuna Fine Arts, Ltd., New York, 1999, p. 75, fig. 130.
Provenance: private East Coast, USA collection; ex-private S.K. Heninger collection, North Carolina, USA, acquired in the 1970s
