- Lot Description
Rome, Imperial, ca. 1st to 4th century CE. A gorgeous glass vase showcasing a cylindrical body, a rounded shoulder, a narrow, conical neck, and an annular, flared rim, all atop a circular, concave base. Formed from teal-hued glass, the graceful vessel is adorned with vertical ridges along the bottom half of its body and a lovely pattern of recessed dots on the top half. Size: 2.125" in diameter x 3.875" H (5.4 cm x 9.8 cm)
Most scholars agree, Roman glass was of the highest quality - both aesthetically and technically - among the ancients. While glass making had been practiced for centuries, glass blowing was invented in the Roman-controlled Holy Land in the 1st century BCE. This innovative technology revolutionized the artform. We can appreciate such a wide variety of forms and shapes, because the medium of glass has unique physical properties that make for so many more possibilities which would eventually replace a wide variety of pottery and metal wares in the ancient world. Roman glassmakers reached incredible artistic heights with both free-blown vessels and mold blown forms and decorations and were traded far beyond the Roman Empire. Roman glass vessels have been found in Scandinavia, India, and in Han Dynasty tombs in China.
