ROMAN STRIPED MOSAIC BOWL

Ca. AD 100 - 300 A stunning Roman striped mosaic glass bowl of a traditional form from the period. This vase presents a mesmerizing all-over pattern comprised of green, yellow, red, and black diagonal ribbons to form a V in the middle of the bowl's body. The green glass is translucent, and other hues are opaque - making for a lovely pattern when held to the light. A tooled base hemispherical glass base supports the body of the cup.
