(2)According to the Roman naturalist Pliny, rock crystal was believed to form from rainwater and snow (Natural History, 37.9). The very name derives from the Greek krystallos, from kryos ('frost, cold, icy'). Because the stone was thought akin to ice and intolerant of heat, vessels carved from it were reserved for cold liquids alone.This finely sculpted vessel in the form of a fish demonstrates the remarkable skill of Roman lapidaries. The body is hollowed through the open mouth to hold a precious liquid, while the dorsal and ventral fins are pierced for suspension. Rock crystal was a rare and costly luxury material, available only in limited sources and requiring extraordinary skill to carve. Pliny notes its value in Rome, recording a woman who paid 150,000 sesterces for a single crystal basin (Natural History, 37.10). He also recounts that Nero, in a final act of fury, dashed two crystal cups to pieces so that none might ever drink from them again. Such accounts underscore the prestige of crystal in the Roman world, where once broken it could not be repaired, and so was deemed worthy of emperors themselves.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie's New York, 8 June 2001, lot 271Price: USD 127,000 or approx.
