Item Details

Description

A Roman pale blue glass kuttrolf with blue-green handles
Circa 3rd-4th Century A.D.
13.3cm high
Footnotes:
Provenance:
with Gil Chaya, Biblical Antiquities, Jerusalem.
The Nico F. Bijnsdorp Collection (NFB 176), acquired from the above on the 5 January 2005.

Exhibited:
Thermenmuseum, Heerlen, NL, 'Romeins Glas uit Particulier Bezit', 29 April – 28 August 2011, exhibition no. 272.

The centre of the body of this flask was tooled to create one central and four vertical tubes at the edges, separated by diaphragms, which would have restricted the flow of the contents. Vessels such as the above were made in the Roman period but as a form were also produced in Medieval and later times. For an example of a Roman Kuttrolf cf. D. Whitehouse, Roman Glass in the Corning Museum of Glass, vol. I , New York, 1997, p. 255, no. 436. Other two-handled examples are in the Israel Museum, Jerusalem (Y. Israeli, Ancient Glass in the Israel Museum: The Eliahu Dobkin Collection and Other Gifts, Jerusalem, 2003, p. 292, no. 388) and in the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (B. Caron and E. P. Zoitopoulou, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Collection of Mediterranean Antiquities, Vol. 1, The Ancient Glass, Leiden and Boston 2008, pp. 152-3, no. 143).

Condition

The flask appears to be intact with no visible signs of repair or restoration. There are some darker speckled inclusions in the handles. There are some small bubbles within the glass. There is overall surface wear including pitting and scratching with some small spots of encrustation and some cloudy iridescence.
