A Roman fused mosaic and blown glass amphora of green, red, yellow and white glass Circa early 1st Century A.D. 7.2cm high Footnotes: Provenance: with Marvin Kagan Art, Inc., New York. Schefler Collection, New York, acquired from the above 11 May 1988. This amphora is the result of blowing sections of early mosaic glass with canes of translucent green with yellow spirals, splashes of red and flecks of white, that had been heated up and fused together. The patterns of the canes became distorted through blowing. For a study of this type of vessel and especially with reference to a similar jug found at Vindonissa, Switzerland, cf. E. Marianne Stern, 'Blown mosaic glass of the Roman period: technical observations and experiments' in The Annales de l'Association pour l'Histoire du Verre, vol. 20, 2015, pp. 132-9, fig. 6, and for an unguentarium in the J. Paul Getty Museum, cf. A. Antonaras, Ancient Glass in the J. Paul Getty Museum, J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, 2025, p. 154, no. 157.
