- Lot Description
Roman, late Imperial Period, ca. 4th to 5th century CE. A beautifully pearlescent free-blown transparent glass vessel, of a globular form, created from a pale aqua-colored glass. The vessel is comprised of a stable, concave base with a rough pontil, an elongated, piriform body, rounded shoulders, a wide mouth, and a collared rim. Two horizontal bands of rigaree encircle the upper body, a zigzag line with triangular areas accentuates the lower body, and a pair of free-form trail handles conjoin shoulder to rim. Size: 3.1" W x 3.55" H (7.9 cm x 9 cm)

#139562Repaired from two large and one small piece. Repairs are very well done and almost impossible to discern. Pearlescent surface with some brown and beige deposits. Vessel possesses a pontil scar or mark which indicates that the vessel was free-blown. (The absence of such a mark would suggest that the work was either mold-blown or that the mark was intentionally smoothed away or wore away over time.)Condition
