Lot 4697
Another Ribbed, Cast Bowl, in Aqua. Roman Syrian, early 1st century AD. Cf. G.A.E. Vol. 1, pl. 40; A.G. fig. 79; Hans Cohn Collection, fig. 41; Toledo, Ancient Glass, nos. 229. Diameter: 6-3/4". Another bowl, similar to the preceding lot. The aqua glass piece, made by casting, rather than blowing, features an exterior with "fire polish" while the interior is finished by means of lapidary techniques. Additional engraving can be seen in the interior: a sunk border beneath rim, and two concentric circles over the concave base. With an age crack that has been stabilized, the thick bowl seems quite sound. Some slight, cleanable dirt, with pleasing transparent iredescence with fine greens reds and magentas.
Estimated Value $900-UP.
