Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 2nd century CE. A hand-blown jar, created with near-colorless glass, with a concave base and rough pontil, an apple-shaped body, a wide neck, deep interior cavity, and a large, flared rim. The body is adorned with several applied horizontal delicate trailed bands beginning just below the neck and terminating just above the base. Thick deposits of earthen material imbue the pigment-absent vessel with a well-aged appearance, and complementing the dark, earthtone colors are dazzling areas of brilliant rainbow-hued iridescence in hues of sapphire, emerald, ruby, gold, citrine, and jade. With a delicate composition and utilitarian form, this is a fantastic example from ancient Roman artisans! Size: 3" W x 3.5" H (7.6 cm x 8.9 cm).
