Roman Ribbed Glass Vessel
3rd century A.D.Estimate: £400 - 600 (+bp*)
Opening Bid: £200
The body with fine ribs and a dimpled base, a carinated shoulder and a funicular neck with a raised collar below the rim. 98.3 grams, 13.1 cm
From an important London, UK, collection 1980-2020.
The vessel likely originates from a Syrian or Palestinian workshop, characterised by a neck shape featuring a collar and a yellow glass tint. The vessel's form establishes an upper chronological limit of the mid-3rd century AD, while the relatively high quality of the glass precludes dating it any later than the end of that century. -
