- Lot Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A beautiful oinochoe that is free-blown from nearly transparent glass of a sumptuous turquoise hue. The vessel presents with a gently concave base that has a rough pontil scar, a tall body with four asymmetrical dimples, a tapered neck surmounted by a trefoil pouring spout, and a trailed handle with a pinched thumb rest on top. Faint areas of silvery iridescence have formed across the vessel and elegantly complement its attractive blue-green coloration. Size: 1.8" W x 4.3" H (4.6 cm x 10.9 cm)
Provenance: Daryl Gruber Kulok (1960-2019) had homes in New York city and Connecticut and was fascinated with archaeology of the holy land. In America, she was on the philanthropic board of the Lila Gruber Research Foundation. Later in her life, she spent a good deal of time in Jerusalem where she was on the board of the American Friends of the Bible Lands, and was a serious collector of ancient art and artifacts. She was a student of biblical archaeology, and dedicated to supporting causes related to Israel. She was a major benefactor the Bible Lands Museum in Jerusalem, an institution "where people of all faiths are welcome to learn and understand our shared history." She was the key contributor to "Three Faces of Monotheism," a major exhibition there in 2007 which explored shared themes between Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Many of the pieces she donated are part of the Bible Lands Museum permanent collection.

#159291Micro-bubbling within glass matrix and light weathering film, 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. Faint silvery iridescence throughout. Old inventory label beneath base.Condition
