- Lot Description
Roman, late Imperial Period, ca. 4th century CE. A beautiful glass jar, free-blown from semi-translucent, pale yellow-green glass. The vessel is defined by a lightly concave base and a rough pontil scar, an apple-shaped body with a rounded shoulder, a squat neck, a collared rim with a smooth lip, and a pair of applied trail handles. The bulbous body exhibits 12 uneven indentations around the exterior which imbue it with an interesting, personalized presentation. Brilliant layers of silver and rainbow-hued iridescence visible across the interior and exterior nicely complement the soft spring hues of the vessel. Size: 3.5" W x 3.5" H (8.9 cm x 8.9 cm).
