Ca. 100-300 AD. A beautiful glass flask with a bulbous body with an attractive rainbow iridescence, a flaring cylindrical neck, and a wide mouth with a slightly everted rim. Good condition. While glass-making had been practised for centuries, the Romans invented the glassblowing technique in the 1st century BC, which revolutionized this craft. Roman glassmakers reached incredible artistic heights with both free-blown vessels and mould blown forms and decorations. Flasks such as this one where used in Roman times to serve liquids and archaeological excavations show that they had an Empire-wide distribution (see Bayley, J., Freestone, I., & Jackson, C. (2015). Glass of the Roman World. Oxford And Philadelphia: Oxbow Books). To find out more about glass objects in the Roman world, Bayley, J., Freestone, I., & Jackson, C. (2015). Glass of the Roman World.

Lot 170
Ca. 100-200 AD. An elegant glass flask featuring a globular body leading to a narrow neck with a straight rim. The vessel sits on a hollowed flat base. Roman glass expanded upon Hellenistic techniques with the arrival of glass blowing in the 1st century, popularising the material and allowing the manufacture of vessels that looked ethereal, then and now, with swirling colours that catch the light magnificently. Although the Romans did not invent glass, they certainly revolutionised it. Developing techniques of glass blowing, it allowed them to create unusual shapes, make the glass thinner and have it be accessible for large proportion of the population.Size: L:53mm / W:48mm ; 20gProvenance: Private London collection since the 1990.
