Item Details
Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 2nd to 4th century CE. A free-blown glass jar of a squat form made from translucent glass of soft yellow-green hues. The vessel features a concave base with a rough pontil scar, a compressed hemispherical body with a gently corseted neckline, and a flared rim with a smooth, rounded lip. Around the body is a series of 18 knob-form protuberances that, while decorative, perhaps performed a more practical function such as creating easily grippable surfaces when in the baths. Size: 2.2" W x 2.1" H (5.6 cm x 5.3 cm)

Provenance: ex-private Virginia, USA collection, before 2000

Condition
Minor abrasions in some areas commensurate with age, with micro-bubbling within glass matrix, and very light encrustations, 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 preservation to knobs and glass coloration. Pontil scar beneath base is slightly sharp in some areas.
