Item Details
Description
**Originally Listed At $400**

Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 3rd to 4th century CE. An impressive drinking cup, free blown from nearly transparent glass to present an incredibly thin composition. The vessel is defined by a planar, quadrilateral base, tall walls with 4 uneven indentations, a deep interior cavity, and an annular flared and rolled rim. Thick areas of fiery rainbow-hued iridescence accentuate the interior and exterior surfaces with hues of citrine, amethyst, emerald, ruby, and sapphire. A fragile yet elegant example of fine Roman glass-blowing artistry! Size: 3" W x 6.5" H (7.6 cm x 16.5 cm)

Provenance: private Lumberton, Texas, USA collection, acquired before 2010
