- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $600**
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. As the popular proverb goes: "Good things come in small packages!" A lovely trio of miniature vessels hand blown from glass of beautiful cobalt blue hues. Two of the vessels present curvaceous silhouettes with handles joining rim to shoulder that made it possible to string these as amulets. The third miniature vessel presents an elegant piriform shape with a tubular neck rising to a rolled rim, a broken pontil scar on the base, and a few areas of silvery iridescence. This vessel as well as one of the handled examples also presents ribbons of white glass that make a lovely contrast with the cobalt blue coloration. A wonderful ensemble of miniature Roman glass vessels! Size: largest (piriform vessel) measures 1.125" H (2.9 cm)
Provenance: private DeCarlo collection, New Jersey, USA acquired before 1980

#149287One of the handled vessels was repaired from several pieces with losses to the base and lower body. The handle of the other handled vessel was reattached. Piriform vessel has a large internal bubble and another bubble that popped at the surface and developed silvery iridescence. There is more silvery iridescence on the neck and a broken pontil mark on the base. Pontil mark on underside of base. A pontil scar or mark indicates that a vessel was free-blown, while the absence of such a mark suggests that the work was either mold-blown or that the mark was intentionally smoothed away or wore away over time.Condition
