A striking core-formed glass oinochoe with a piriform body, a rounded shoulder, a narrow neck which flares into a trefoil spout, and an applied trail handle arching between the shoulder and rim, all supported atop an applied flared foot. The saturated cobalt-blue body is accentuated with canes of opaque yellow and white glass which has been feathered into a zigzag pattern across the midsection. Additional yellow and white course around the circumference of the trefoil spout, lower body, and foot. Fiery layers of silvery and rainbow-hued patina have formed across the vessel and imbue it with a stylish presentation evocative of ancient Greece! Size: 1.875 W x 2.75 H (4.8 cm x 7 cm), 3.5 H (8.9 cm) on included custom stand. According to the Corning Museum of Glass, core forming is the technique of forming a vessel by winding or gathering molten glass around a core supported by a rod. After forming, the object is removed from the rod and annealed. After annealing, the core is removed by scraping. ( This process of glass making was begun in the late 16th century BCE by glassmakers of Mesopotamia, and then adopted by Egyptian glassmakers in the 15th century BCE. The technique almost came to an end in the so-called Dark Ages of Mediterranean civilization (1200 to 900 BCE), however, by the 9th century BCE a new generation of glassmakers took up the technique once again, and between the 6th and 4th century BCE core-forming spread throughout the Mediterranean.
