- Lot Description
Roman, late Imperial Period, ca. 4th century CE. A free-blown jar made from translucent, pale-green glass with a concave base and smooth pontil scar, a globular body with a rounded shoulder, a large collared rim with an out-folded lip, and a pair of applied, blue-green trail handles. The lower body is adorned with a register of applied zigzags in a similar color as the handles, and above that is a register of thin spiraling trail decorations. Fine silvery and rainbow-hued iridescence envelops nearly all of this fabulous vessel. Size: 3.5" W x 2.875" H (8.9 cm x 7.3 cm).
For a stylistically-similar example made from yellow-green glass, please see "Solid Liquid: Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Islamic Glass." Fortuna Fine Arts, Ltd., New York, 1999, p. 95, fig. 175.
Provenance: East Coast collection, New York Gallery, New York City, New York, USA, acquired before 2010
