Description from the seller

Romaine glass coupe
Oval-shaped glass coupe with a pouring spout.
Circular base, concave bottom, circular body at the base then oval at the top, wide flared lip extended by a large pouring spout ending in a point.
Used as tableware, these vessels could be used for drinking but could also be intended to contain different kinds of substances: sauces, spices, other condiments, etc.
Produced mainly between the early Flavian period and the early 2nd century AD, these cups exist in several variants, touching upon color and type of glass as well as certain shape details (lip shape, body more or less rounded, etc.).
The glass, rare and fragile, was reserved for luxurious tableware. Glass tableware is intended for serving and presenting dishes.
Very good condition, lovely iridescence due to the oxidation of the glass over the centuries, giving multicolored reflections.
