Item Details
Description
Ancient Rome, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A sack-shaped glass unguent indented at the mid-point, this resulting in a bulbous, somewhat teardrop-shaped lower silhouette and a slightly flaring upper section and out-turned rim. Beyond the elegance of this delicate form are the incredibly fiery violet hues of the piece that have developed breathtaking iridescence, creating a swirling pattern across the entire surface. Custom, museum-quality stand. Size: 1.125" W x 2.5" H (2.9 cm x 6.4 cm)

Provenance: Ex - Important LA County collection
