Item Details

Description

Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 2nd to 3rd century CE. A gorgeous example of a double unguentarium meant for holding 2 different types of scented oils or kohl makeup, free-blown from translucent glass of a vibrant blue-green hue. The slender vessel bears a pinched base, a pair of cylindrical containers surrounded by trails of applied glass and capped with rolled rims, all flanked by twin rigaree handles. Attractive areas of silvery and rainbow-hued iridescence have formed across the vessel and elegantly accentuate its bright sea green color. Size: 2.9" W x 4.4" H (7.4 cm x 11.2 cm); 5.9" H (15 cm) on included custom stand.

Provenance: East Coast collection, New York Gallery, New York City, New York, USA, acquired before 2010

Condition

Loss of top handle and some losses to trails. Thicker side handle restored from new material. Pontil mark on underside of base. A pontil scar or mark indicates that a vessel was free-blown, while the absence of such a mark suggests that the work was either mold-blown or that the mark was intentionally smoothed away or wore away over time.
