Lot 4692
Well Crafted Core-formed Amphoriskos. Levant or Italy, 3rd to 2nd century BC. Cf. Toledo, Ancient Glass, no. 158, but of stouter form. Height: 4-1/4". Nicely porportioned, this deep blue glass vessel features a flat everted lip, long cylindrical neck, and inverted rounded conical body set upon a high small foot. Opaque yellow horizontal stripes edge the lip and wind about neck and body. The piece is marverd at the shoulder, along with slight heat tooling to create subtle ribbing along the shoulder's edge. Bottle is intact and perfect with weathered, lightly iridescent surfaces. A very fine example, and noteworthy for being complete.
Estimated Value $900-UP.
