Lot 4813
Ornate Little Bottle. Islamic Syria or Persia, c. 7th to 9th century AD. Height: 1-7/8". In very thick clear or light blue glass, this miniature bottle has a ribbed cylinder neck atop an inverted conical body that has been tooled, folded, and pinched to give the appearance of stacked discs. The sides of the base have a band of pinched "fins" radiating at an oblique angle. Slight chips to some of the fins, otherwise the bottle is intact and very good. The exterior features an interesting black and silver patina, with swirled, marblized appearance, and with flashes of iridescent color.
Estimated Value $175 - 300.
