ROMAN GLASS FLAT FLASK
Item Details
Description
Ca. 100–300 AD. Roman. A finely blown flask in a light-blue coloured glass. The vessel features a flat, spherical body, a long cylindrical neck slightly constricted at the base, and an everted folded rim. The passing of time has created a beautiful iridescence on the glass’ surface. While glass-making had been practised for centuries, the Romans invented the glassblowing technique in the 1st century BC, which revolutionized this craft. Roman glassmakers reached incredible artistic heights with both free-blown vessels and mould blown forms and decorations. To find out more about glass objects in the Roman world, Bayley, J., Freestone, I., & Jackson, C. (2015). Glass of the Roman World. Oxford And Philadelphia: Oxbow Books. Provenance: Property of a West London gentleman; previously in a collection formed on the UK/International art market in the 1980s. Size: L:125mm / W:60mm ; 24.2g
