- Lot Description
Roman, late Republic to early Imperial Period, ca. late 1st century BCE to mid-1st century CE. A gorgeous bowl of a thick-walled composition formed from semi-translucent glass of a stunning amber-yellow hue. The slightly concave base expands gently outwards and rounds to form the walls, and a thick rim surrounds the shallow basin that itself is adorned with wheel-cut striations. The exterior is decorated with sixty-six protruding vertical ribs that are created via the pillar-molding technique where the glass is 'sagged' over a textured mold and then pulled to form the ribs. Bowls like this one were a sophisticated component of the Roman "cena," or dinner, perhaps for holding fruits, fish, or condiments like garum (fermented fish sauce). A fabulous vessel enveloped in fiery layers of silvery and rainbow iridescence. Size: 6.75" Diameter x 2" H (17.1 cm x 5.1 cm)
Published in: "Glasses of Antiquity." Fortuna Fine Arts, Ltd., New York, 2002, fig. 19.
For a strikingly similar example with a taller rim, please see The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 74.51.288.
