Item Details
Description
**First Time At Auction**

Roman, late Imperial Period, ca. late 3rd to early 5th century CE. A fabulous flask of a substantial size, formed in a mold from semi-translucent, pale blue-green glass. The vessel is defined by a concave base, an apple-shaped body with a rounded shoulder, and a cylindrical neck that gradually expands to a smooth rim. Thin glass trails create 9 rings which coil around the upper neck, and thick areas of silvery and rainbow-hued iridescence enshroud the entire composition. Size: 4.5" W x 8.3" H (11.4 cm x 21.1 cm).

Provenance: private Davis collection, Houston, Texas, USA; ex-private Israel collection, purportedly found in Hebron
