- Lot Description
Ancient Greece, late Hellenistic Period, ca. 2nd to 1st century BCE. A beautiful mold-formed glass bowl with thick, translucent glass of a honey-yellow amber hue. The mastoid vessel has a conical body with a rounded base and a dense rim, a trio of concentric, wheel-cut grooves decorating the interior of the vessel, and a pair of shallow grooves surrounding the base. Dense areas of fiery rainbow-hued iridescence have formed across the composition and nicely accentuate its golden-yellow color. Lucite display stand for photography purposes only. Size: 5.7" Diameter x 3.375" H (14.5 cm x 8.6 cm)
