Item Details

Description

**First Time At Auction**

Roman, early Imperial Period, ca. 1st century CE. A free-blown flask formed from semi-translucent glass of rich cobalt hues. The slightly compressed base and spherical body create a stable form, and the tapered neck terminates in an everted rim. Three fragmentary strands of trailed decorations visible along one side of the shoulder allude to how gorgeous this appeared when first created. Size: 2" W x 3.3" H (5.1 cm x 8.4 cm); 4.8" H (12.2 cm) on included custom stand.

A similar example hammered for GBP 12,500 ($15,224.06) at Christie's, London "Ancient Glass from the Shlomo Moussaieff Collection" auction (sale 13850, July 6, 2016, lot 212).
