Roman Empire, c. 100–200 AD
A breathtakingly beautiful Roman glass bowl, showcasing the remarkable skill of ancient glassmakers over 2,000 years ago. Crafted from soda-lime glass, a hallmark of Roman innovation, this delicate yet durable vessel embodies the elegance and artistry of the period.
Sitting on a wide ring base, the bowl’s gracefully flared body leads up to a rolled lip, creating a deep interior cavity ideal for holding liquids or small items. Roman artisans mastered the use of colorants to imitate precious gemstones, with minerals like copper, cobalt, and manganese lending rich hues to their glassware.
With its historical significance and undeniable beauty, this piece is a superb addition to any collection of ancient glass, Roman artifacts, or classical antiquities. Professionally repaired, it remains a testament to the enduring artistry of the ancient world.
Good condition. Gorgeous patina and age-related wear occur. The surface of the exterior and interior is calcified and encrusted with minerals over the years. Bowl has a stunning colour that varying from pale green to light seafoam green. Beautiful rainbow iridescence throughout. Size approx. 4,3cm x 11,2cm x 10,9cm.
Provenance: From the collection of painter and tv producer Ole Braunstein (1917–1999). Donee of the Høyen Prize in 1984.
