Description from the seller
Gallo-Roman glass coupe
This coupe was blown in a transparent glass with originally bluish reflections. Currently, the surface displays a magnificent emerald green color and is naturally “decorated” by a patina with blue and silvery nuances.
The conical body, terminating with a small flared rim finely edged, rests on a concave base.
Used as tableware, these coupes could be used for drinking but could also be intended to hold different kinds of substances: sauces, spices, other condiments, etc.
Produced mainly from the beginning of the Flavian period to the start of the 2nd century AD, they exist in different variants, affecting color and type of glass as well as certain details of shape (rim shape, more or less rounded body, etc.).
The glass, rare and fragile, was reserved for luxurious tableware. Glass tableware is intended for serving and presenting dishes.
Very good conservation, strong iridescence due to the oxidation of the glass over the centuries, giving multicolored reflections.
