AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A very rare Roman glass goblet.
Blown and molded glass tumbler with a flat bottom, hexagonal in shape, with a slender round neck and a flared rim.
Made of colorless glass, it features a charming iridescence with silvery reflections.
Roman glass, perfecting Hellenistic techniques with the advent of glassblowing in the first century, popularized the material and made possible the production of vases of ethereal beauty, whose elaborate forms magnificently capture light.
Thin walls of pale greenish-white glass, the hexagonal body showing numerous iridescences on the surface.
Roman period, 4th century AD.
Lovely iridescence - excellent condition - small chip at the neck, small crack with no impact.
Height 7.4 × width 5.3 cm
Origin: France, Etude O.S.T.
Previously: J.C. Timmermans Collection, acquired from Galerie Dominique Thirion in 2019.
