Item Details

Description

Ancient Greece, Classical period, ca. 5th century BCE. A beautiful example of a core-formed glass amphoriskos (miniature amphora) once used to hold perfumed oils. The near-miniature vase boasts an exceptionally elegant form with an ovoid body that is finely contoured with vertical ribs, twin handles that gracefully join the shoulder to the cylindrical neck, an everted discoid rim, all upon a narrow, slightly splayed foot. The decoration of this piece is simply breathtaking, with the cobalt blue body wound with azure and golden yellow thread-like trails applied in a close-knit zigzag or feathered pattern. The golden trails continue above the feathered pattern - highlighting the handles, encircling the neck, and resolving at the rim - making this a divine work of glass art made to be treasured. Size: 2.125" L x 1.9" W x 3.3" H (5.4 cm x 4.8 cm x 8.4 cm); 3.8" H (9.7 cm) on included custom stand.
