Unusual Bag-like Beaker or Jar. Roman, c. 2nd-4th century AD. Finely crafted in a light aqua glass, the mouth flared, with rolled rim, and the ovoid body indented on four sides, forming a square in section. Further ornament of trailed glass encircles the neck. Jar intact and perfect, and pristine. A few speckle/patches of bright iridescence towards the base. Height: 3-1/4". A very appealing example of this less common shape.
Estimated Value $400 - 500.
Cf. Newak, figs. 373, 374. Said to have been acquired in Istanbul in 1970.
