Lot 4737
Well Crafted Large Dish in Green Glass. Roman, 2nd to 3rd century AD. Cf. Oliver, Carnegie Museum, no. 138. Diameter: 8-1/2". Blown, shallow dish (almost a plate) featuring a broad rounded rim, vertical walls, a folded ring foot, and central raised umbo at the middle of the dish. Intact and perfect, the dish is colored with areas of fine cobalt blue, speckled green, and magenta iridescence. This sort of dish would have originally held food pieces laying in a sauce, while the raised center would have kept accoutrements such as chunks of bread out of the liquid!
Estimated Value $500 - 750.
