Description from the seller
精巧に作られた古代ガラスのアンフォリスコス（おそらくギリシャ＝キプロス系）、 slender cylindrical neck（細長い円筒 neckは日本語で首部） and pear-shaped body, and small applied knob foot. A long, strap-shaped handle rises almost vertically from the shoulder and joins the vessel below the flaring rim. The originally present second handle is no longer preserved.
vessel is decorated with applied glass threads in a bluish-dark colour. Around the neck, the threads form regular horizontal spirals. Across the body, the threads have been tooled into a characteristic, closely spaced wavy or garland pattern known as festoon decoration. Towards the lower part of the vessel, the decoration returns to horizontal lines. This elaborate type of applied and tooled thread decoration is characteristic of ancient glass vessels from the eastern Mediterranean region.
The form and decoration find parallels among Greek-Cypriot glass amphoriskoi of the late Hellenistic period, particularly around the 1st century BC. Comparable vessels feature a cylindrical neck, pear-shaped body, applied handles, a small knob foot, and spirally applied glass threads drawn into a festoon pattern.
Small amphoriskoi of this type were primarily used in antiquity for the storage of valuable perfumes, scented essences, and oils and represent a characteristic example of ancient glassmaking.
The surface shows pronounced age-related weathering, corrosion, and deposits. Areas of natural iridescence are visible in places, resulting from the long-term alteration and burial of the glass. One handle is missing. The body shows minor chips and surface losses; a larger irregular area of loss or damage is visible on the shoulder. No restorations are apparent.

Provenance: Formerly in the Madeleine & Erich Dammann Collection, Germany. Acquired during the owners’ extensive travels between 1950 and 1970. Documented in Germany by 1970 and subsequently retained in continuous family ownership.
Seller's Story
I am pleased to be able to offer my pieces here on Catawiki.
Transparency: In my offers, you will find all documents and information available to me. Furthermore, there are no additional documents.
Authenticity certificates: If no authenticity certificate is available, I do not promise one. All the documentation I have is attached to the auction.
Provenance: Many pieces come from the estate of a passionate collector who gathered items over 50 years, traveled the world, and also accompanied archaeological expeditions. She has been deceased for about 20 years, which is why no additional documents are available.
Fairness: I list my items honestly and without a minimum price – no one is forced to spend more than they wish.
My goal is fair and open trade, where buyers know exactly what to expect.
