Das ist der Preis für die folgende Bewertung: Roman Glass Flask W/ Lovely Iridescence, 2012



Beschreibung : Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 2nd century CE. A beautiful blue-green near-opaque glass flask with a slight concave base, spherical body, a pinched neck line, a tubular neck, and a collared rim. A pair of horizontal wheel-cut lines encircle the body and give it a segmented appearance. Brilliant, fiery areas of silvery and rainbow-hued iridescence complement the pale turquoise body in a palette of amethyst, citrine, topaz, sapphire, emerald, and ruby hues. A fabulous example of sophisticated glass-blowing artistry from the Roman Empire! Size: 3.75 W x 5.5 H (9.5 cm x 14 cm). 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.
