- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $350**
Roman, Eastern Empire, Imperial Period, ca. 3rd to 4th century CE. A gorgeous unguent-holding vessel formed from semi-translucent glass of a vibrant blue-green hue. The vessel is defined by a discoid base with a rough pontil scar underneath, an elongated piriform body, a flared rim with an in-folded lip, and a pair of applied trailed handles arching between rim and shoulder. The body features dozens of shallow ribs that course diagonally along the surface, and a threadlike trailing spirals from the lower handle terminals to just above the foot. Attractive silvery iridescence has formed across the composition and nicely complements the beautiful turquoise hues. Size: 3" W x 4.5" H (7.6 cm x 11.4 cm).
Provenance: The Dere Family Collection, New York, USA, assembled 1970's-2000's; ex-Stephen Shalom Collection, New York, USA, acquired in 1970's

#135623Minor nicks to upper handle terminals, body, trailing, and base, with thick encrustations, light pitting, and micro-bubbling within glass matrix, otherwise intact and very good. 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 and silver iridescence throughout.Condition
