Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $150**

Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A splendid flask formed from semi-translucent glass of a soft seafoam-green hue. The vessel has a slightly concave base with a rough pontil scar, a tapered triangular body, a cylindrical neck, and a petite, in-folded rim. Attractive layers of silvery and rainbow-hued iridescence have formed across the composition and elegantly complement the pale green color. A fine example from ancient Rome! Size: 1.25" W x 3.875" H (3.2 cm x 9.8 cm).

Provenance: East Coast collection, New York Gallery, New York City, New York, USA, acquired before 2010

#135357

Condition

Minor abrasions to body, neck, and rim, with light encrustations and weathering film, 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. Nice earthen deposits as well as great silver and rainbow iridescence throughout. Old inventory label beneath base.
