- Lot Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A striking Roman glass vessel, possibly mold-blown given that there is no sign of a pontil scar on the concave base, presenting an almost hourglass form with an apple-shaped lower body leading to a short narrow tubular neck and dramatically rising to a cup-shaped spout. The glass itself is a blue-green color; however, brilliant violet purple iridescence imbues it with even more irresistable beauty. Size: 4.625" H (11.7 cm)
An old label on vessel reads, "Roman Glass found in a tomb near Haifa in perfect condition."
