- Lot Description
Near East, Islamic, ca. 5th to 7th century CE. This is a beautiful and dramatic glass sprinkler jar with millefiori patterning and applied spirals. The free blown vessel has a bulbous body and lengthy cylindrical neck. The neck is decorated with rigaree coiled around the exterior and the shoulder is adorned with six red and white fused glass-cane inlays, creating floral shapes known as millefiori. The elongated neck was designed to prevent evaporation of the precious liquids - like perfumes or scented oils - kept inside. The exterior is enveloped in silvery iridescence and mineral deposits. Size: 3.5" W x 8.75" H (8.9 cm x 22.2 cm)
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-private prominent D.K. collection, New York, USA, acquired in the 2000s
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.
