- Lot Description
Roman, early Imperial Period, ca. 1st century CE. A stunning mold-formed, translucent glass bowl of a deep amber hue with a flat base and a smooth pontil scar, bulbous walls, a squat neck, and a thin everted rim. The exterior is adorned with eighteen recessed columnar panels, each separated from its neighbor by a thick raised rib. The vibrant golden-brown coloration of the vessel is nicely complemented by scattered areas of fiery silver and rainbow-hued iridescence in hues of amethyst, sapphire, emerald, and citrine. A fabulous bowl with an opulent appearance evocative of high-quality Roman glass-blowing artistry. Size: 4" W x 2.625" H (10.2 cm x 6.7 cm).
