Roman Ribbed Glass Vessel

拍品描述

3rd century A.D. The body with fine ribs and a dimpled base, a carinated shoulder and a funicular neck with a raised collar below the rim. Cf. for a similar example Filarska, B., Szkla Starozytne (Ancient Glass), vol.II, Warszawa, 1972, II, cat.193, pl.XLI,4. 98.3 grams, 13.1 cm (5 1/8 in.). From an important London, UK, collection 1980-2020. The vessel likely originates from a Syrian or Palestinian workshop, characterised by a neck shape featuring a collar and a yellow glass tint. The vessel's form establishes an upper chronological limit of the mid-3rd century AD, while the relatively high quality of the glass precludes dating it any later than the end of that century.
