Ribbon Glass Bottle in White and Violet. Roman, 1st century AD. Cf. Sammlung Oppenlander, nos. 358, 367. Little bottle of plump piriform shape, with small everted rim and flattened bottom. The bands of opaque white have been marvered into a symmetrical design of swags or gadroons. Intact and very fine, with areas of opaque silvery to metallic iridescence in soft greens, violets and magentas. Height: 2-/7/8", on custom stand. A fine example of this desirable class of early Imperial glass.
Estimated Value $900-UP.
