A Roman yellow-green glass oval footed dish
Probably Karanis, Egypt, circa 5th-6th Century A.D.

Footnotes:
Provenance:
Private collection, California, formed mostly between 1964-1986.

The decorative tooling on the foot of this dish is also found on the oval dishes discovered at Karanis in Fayum, Egypt, and published by D.B. Harden in 1936 (see Roman Glass from Karanis, Oxford; no.17 for a similar bowl). A collection of over 1,000 glass vessels and fragments from Karanis is now housed at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology at the University of Michigan, including several dishes akin to this lot.
