- Lot Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 2nd to 3rd century CE. A beautiful free-blown carafe composed of pale turquoise-hued glass with a tooled foot surrounding a rough pontil scar, a pear-shaped body which gradually tapers to a cylindrical neck, and a flared spout with a thick rim. The exterior exhibits elegant layers of silvery and rainbow-hued iridescence which provide a nice chromatic complementarity to the soft blue-green glass. Used to pour small amounts of wine and oil, this is a fabulous example of fine utilitarian glasswork! Size: 3.625" W x 7.3" H (9.2 cm x 18.5 cm).
Provenance: private Davis collection, Houston, Texas, USA; ex-Bonhams, London, Knightsbridge Antiquities Auction (May 8, 2013, part of lot 183); ex-private United Kingdom collection, acquired between 1955 and 1976 in Lebanon and the Near East

#139126Surface wear and minor abrasions commensurate with age, light jaggedness to pontil scar, and very light encrustations, otherwise intact and excellent. Please note: 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 as well as great silver and rainbow iridescence throughout.Condition
