Item Details

Description

Ancient Greece, Hellenistic period, ca. 3rd to 1st century BCE. A core-form glass amphoriskos of elegant form with tiny foot, ovoid body with twin handles, cylindrical neck, and an everted disk rim; and equally elegant decoration, the dark blue body wound with pale blue trails tooled into a feather pattern around the body. The golden trails continue, encircling the neck and resolving at the rim. Some areas of iridescence add to its beauty. Custom, museum-quality stand. Size: 2.15" W x 5.5" H (5.5 cm x 14 cm)

The Greeks created core-formed or sandcore vessels by trailing threads of molten glass over a "core" of sand or clay to form the vessel. These threads were oftentimes feathered or dragged to create intriguing decorative patterns. The term amphoriskos literally means "little amphora" and is indeed a miniature amphora. This shape was quite popular as it was ideal to store precious oils, perfumes, or cosmetics.
