Description
Ca. 600-700 AD.
A cut glass bowl of a hemispherical shape, complemented by a concave base, creates a well-balanced and elegant form. The exterior of the bowl is meticulously adorned with four rows of roundels, arranged in a honeycomb pattern, which is both beautiful and intricate. The technique used to create this stunning piece of cut glass was likely a combination of wheel-cutting and polishing. The glass would have been blown into a mold to create the basic shape and then refined using a variety of cutting and polishing tools. The result is a flawless piece of glassware that reflects the skill and precision of the glassmaker. Glassmaking was a highly valued art form in early Islamic times, with glass objects being used for both practical and decorative purposes. Glassmakers were highly respected, and their work was prized for its beauty and durability. For a similar example, see The Victoria and Albert Museum, Accession number C.58-1963.
