Lot 4698
Early Roman Bowl in Light Green Glass. Roman, 1st century AD. Diameter: 6-1/4". This simple bowl is fairly shallow but finely proportioned. Made by casting rather than blowing, the exterior shows "fire polish" while the interior hs been finished by means of lapidary techniques. Additional engraving seen in the interior include a sunk border beneath rim and two concentric circles over the concave base. Intact and finely preserved, this piece features patches of thick creme-rose iridescence along with transparent but more vivid green, violet, and rose hues around the rest of the interior.
Estimated Value $500 - 800.
