Roman, Late Imperial to early Byzantine Period, ca. 5th to 7th century CE. A beautiful mold-blown, semi-translucent glass vessel of a pale blue-green hue with a concave base and a rough pontil scar, a hexagonal body, a slightly dimpled shoulder, a wide neck, a flared and in-folded rim, and a pair of applied trail handles with small loops near the rim. The body exhibits six relief-molded panels with three pairs of matching patterns in a dense lattice, diamond forms with central circles, and stalky palm fronds. The vessel's soft blue-green coloration is finely accentuated by thick areas of fiery rainbow-hued iridescence. Size: 4.25" W x 6.375" H (10.8 cm x 16.2 cm).
