- Lot Description
Greek, late Hellenistic Period, ca. 2nd to 1st century BCE. A gorgeous mold-formed bowl of a conical form, known as a "mastos" as it resembles a woman's breast. The bowl is formed from translucent yellow-green glass and boasts a rounded base and tall walls which flare outward toward a smooth rim. A trio of thick wheel-cut striations adorn the exterior of the body, and a singular striation courses around the rim interior. Brilliant rainbow-hued iridescence covers most surfaces and nicely accentuates the vessel's vivid spring hues. Lucite display stand for photography purposes only. Size: 5.75" Diameter x 3.8" H (14.6 cm x 9.7 cm).
