- Lot Description
Roman, late Imperial Period, ca. 4th to early 5th century CE. A gorgeous and sizable jar formed from semi-translucent glass of a soft yellow-green hue. The vessel is defined by a concave base with a rough pontil scar, a spherical body with a sloping shoulder, and a collared rim with a lower carination and a flared lip. Adornments of similarly-colored glass embellish the exterior, including a single contiguous trail which spirals around the body several times before terminating along the neck, and roughly fourteen applied rigaree bands zigzag between the lip and upper body. Size: 4.125" W x 3.9" H (10.5 cm x 9.9 cm).
For a stylistically-similar example without trailing along the body, please see "Solid Liquid: Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Islamic Glass." Fortuna Fine Arts, Ltd., New York, 1999, p. 96, fig. 178.
