Item Details
Description
Ca. 100-300 AD. Roman. A pale green glass flask with a flat base, a bell-shaped, tapering body, and a funnel neck decorated with horizontal lines; attractive iridescent surface. Excellent condition. While glass-making had been practised for centuries, the Romans invented the glassblowing technique in the 1st century BC, which revolutionized this craft. Roman glassmakers reached incredible artistic heights with both free-blown vessels and mould blown forms and decorations. To find out more about glass objects in the Roman world, Bayley, J., Freestone, I., & Jackson, C. (2015). Glass of the Roman World. Oxford And Philadelphia: Oxbow Books. Size: L:155mm / W:60mm ; 42g. Provenance: From the private collection of an Oxford gentleman; previously in an old British collection, formed in the 1980s on the UK / International art markets.
