Item Details
Description
Unearth a treasure of history with this exceptional collection of four small Molar Flask bottles, each a masterpiece crafted from ancient glass. The largest among them measures 5x2cm (approximately 2x0.8 inches), and they are renowned as exceptional examples of mold-blown glass from the Islamic Golden Age. These transparent light-colored bottles, distinguished by their exquisite facet-cut designs, are a testament to the artistry of Egypt and Iran during the 9th to 11th centuries.

The Molar Flask bottles are extraordinary relics, each bearing the remarkable craftsmanship of an era when glassblowing was in its infancy. These bottles, characterized by their distinctive shape reminiscent of molars, were created with meticulous precision. The mold-blown glass technique employed in their production showcases the advanced skills and artistry of the time.

Crafted in both Egypt and Iran, these bottles are significant representations of the cultural exchange and artistic influences that flourished during the Islamic Golden Age. The transparent, light-colored glass exudes an air of delicacy and elegance, while the intricate facet-cut patterns add sophistication to each bottle.

It's noteworthy that this type of glasswork is highly sought after by world-class auction houses like Christie's and Sotheby's, often finding their place in museum-grade collections. These Molar Flask bottles epitomize the fusion of art, history, and culture during a remarkable period in human civilization.

This collection offers an extraordinary opportunity to possess artifacts of immense historical and artistic value. Bid now to add these exquisite pieces to your collection and partake in preserving the legacy of ancient glass craftsmanship from the Islamic Golden Age.
