- Lot Description
**First Time At Auction**
Late Roman / early Byzantine Period, ca. 4th to 6th century CE. An unusual mold-blown flask composed of translucent, aubergine-hued glass. The vessel is defined by a slight concave base, a body with a hemispherical bottom half and a conical top half with a carinated separated rib, a corseted neck base and a tubular neck, and an out-folded rim with an upward-projecting, fire-polished rim. Thick areas of encrustations are scattered across the exterior surface, with lovely silvery and rainbow-hued iridescence complementing the amethyst-hued vessel. Size: 3" W x 6.125" H (7.6 cm x 15.6 cm).
Published in "Shining Vessels: Ancient Glass from Greek, Roman and Islamic Times." Fortuna Fine Arts, Ltd., New York, 1991, p. 61, fig. 103.
For a stylistically-similar example, please see "3000 Jahre Glaskunst von der Antike bis zum Jugendstil." Kunstmuseum Luzern, Lucerne, 1981, p. 98, fig. 362.
For another stylistically-similar example without the out-folded rib, please see "The Constable-Maxwell Collection of Ancient Glass." Sotheby's Parke Bernet, London, 4 June, 1979, p. 125, fig. 219.
