- Lot Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 3rd to 4th century CE. A free-blown glass jar of a beautiful, spherical form with a concave base bearing a smooth pontil scar. The vessel features rounded shoulders, a tall, collared rim, and a pair of angular handles formed from pulled trails of aquamarine glass. Faint remains of blue-green glass trails course around the body and indicate just how elegantly this vessel was embellished. Windswept iridescence has formed across the exterior of the jar and nicely complements its semi-translucent, yellow-green hues. Size: 3.8" W x 3.4" H (9.7 cm x 8.6 cm)
For a similar example of a jar with exterior ribbing, please see "Glasses of Antiquity." Fortuna Fine Arts, Ltd., New York, 2002, fig. 89.
Provenance: private Dere collection, East Coast, USA assembled between 1970 and 2000

#157474Minor abrasions and weathering film to base, body, rim, and handles, with light encrustations, and chipping to much trailing decorations on body, otherwise intact and very good. Pontil mark on underside of base. 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. Great earthen deposits and iridescence throughout.Condition
