- Lot Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 3rd to 4th century CE. An elegant vase of an attractive form that is free-blown from nearly transparent glass of a soft yellow-green hue. The vessel is defined by an applied circular foot surrounding a smooth pontil scar, a lightly compressed spherical body with a gently sloped shoulder, and a cylindrical neck surmounted by a flared rim. A pair of nearly opaque cobalt blue glass trail handles were first applied to the shoulder, pulled upwards, bent towards the neck, and attached to an applied glass ring encircling the neck. Brilliant layers of silvery and rainbow-hued iridescence envelop the entire composition in glinting color. Size: 3.4" W x 5.375" H (8.6 cm x 13.7 cm)
For a stylistically similar of the unusual handles on an amphoriskos, please see "Glasses of Antiquity." Fortuna Fine Arts, Ltd., New York, 2002, fig. 98.
Provenance: private Florida, USA collection, purchased at the Archaeological Center auction, Tel Aviv, Israel (January 20, 2010, lot 51); ex-Gershon Bineth collection, Israel

#151615Minor abrasions and nicks to rim, handles, neck ring, body, and foot, with encrustations and weathering film across most surfaces, and some flaking to iridescence, otherwise intact and excellent. Pontil mark on underside of base. A pontil scar or mark indicates that a vessel was free-blown, while the absence of such a mark suggests that the work was either mold-blown or that the mark was intentionally smoothed away or wore away over time. Nice earthen deposits as well as great silvery and rainbow iridescence throughout.Condition
