Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. An incredible, remarkably preserved translucent aqua-colored glass bowl with a delicate foot and flaring body that thickens slightly at the rim to form an exterior lip. The body is decorated with delicate lines of applied trailing. The vessel stands on a ring foot with a rough pontil on its underside, indicating that it was blown rather than mold made. Vessels like this one could have been used during any course of a Roman meal, but it would have been ideal for laying out appetizers (the course called "gustum") like cold meat or small fish. The translucence of this vessel despite its age is truly amazing! Size: 5.55" W x 2.85" H (14.1 cm x 7.2 cm) Provenance: private East Coast, USA collection; ex-Martin J.
