- Lot Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 3rd to 4th century CE. A beautiful amphoriskos of a tall, sizable form, free-blown from translucent glass of a soft green-yellow hue. The slender vessel is defined by a rounded base, an elongated piriform body with a sloped shoulder, a gently corseted neck base beneath a cylindrical neck, a funnel-form mouth surrounded by a collared rim, and a pair of glass trail handles that are applied on the neck base and pulled upward to the rim. Larger glass perfume vessels like this example were commensurately more expensive than smaller glass vessels, so only women in the wealthiest of Roman families could have afforded such a luxury. Fine windswept rainbow-hued iridescence has formed across the entire composition. Size: 2.875" W x 9.7" H (7.3 cm x 24.6 cm); 10.75" H (27.3 cm) on included custom stand.
For a stylistically similar examples with no handles, please see "Solid Liquid: Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Islamic Glass." Fortuna Fine Arts, Ltd., New York, 1999, p. 89, fig. 159.
Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-private prominent D.K. collection, New York, USA, acquired in the 2000s
