Das ist der Preis für die folgende Bewertung: Large Roman Green Glass Jar W/ Applied Blue Spots

Beschreibung : Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 4th century CE. Comprised of translucent glass of blue-green hues, a beautiful vessel of a cup-like form with a slightly concave profile, a flattened bottom, and a splayed lip. Around the midline of the exterior wall are blue spot appliques with fine wheel-cut bands above and below. A beautiful example of ancient Roman glass. Size: 4 in diameter x 3.625 H (10.2 cm x 9.2 cm) In order to create the decoration on this vessel, the glassblower most likely placed colored beads at a distance from one another on a hard surface. Next, he had to roll out a heated glass post. Once reheated and blown out in the form, the dots would have merged with the surface. Vessels with this type of dotted decoration have been found primarily in the western part of the Roman Empire, but also in the Eastern Mediterranean to a somewhat lesser extent. Ancient glass manufacture had begun in the 2nd millennium BCE in Mesopotamia and Egypt. The Greeks and Phoenicians advanced glass technology greatly in the latter 1st millennium BCE. In the early 1st century CE, Roman workshops began producing blown glass on a large scale. Eventually glass vessels came to replace a wide variety of pottery and metal wares in the ancient world. Ancient Roman glass was traded far beyond the Roman Empire. Roman glass vessels have been found in Scandinavia, India, and in Han Dynasty tombs in China.
