Description

ROMAN GREEN MOSAIC DISH

Ca. AD 100 - 300 A Roman glass bowl of a shallow, hemispherical form composed in the mosaic (or millefiori) technique with canes of translucent green and opaque white. The regular form of the rim creates a gentle profile with a slightly rounded but stable base. The stunning coloration is of the highest quality produced in the early Imperial Period and can be illuminated next to a bright light source. This is a rare and important example of a simple bowl because it exhibits an incarnated, footless style typically seen in mosaic glass patella cups. For similar see: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Accession Number: 81.10.43 (shape).
Size: 50mm x 50mm; Weight: 13g
Provenance: Prince collection, 1990s-2014; Ex. David Aaron, 2007. This item has been cleared against the Art Loss Register database and comes with a confirmation letter.

Estimate: GBP 750 - 1500
