The earliest man-made glass predated the Roman empire by 2000 years, but the Romans used a greater quantity and variety of glass than any other civilization before the Renaissance. The discovery of glassblowing in the first century B.C. transformed glass from a luxury item into the medium for making objects for everyday use. Glass had a long history of production in the eastern Mediterranean, and the majority of common glass objects were produced in Syria and Israel during the later centuries of the Roman empire.
AGE: Circa 1st-2nd century A.D. CONDITION: Intact and blown in thick green glass. Quite sturdy with light desert patination. DIMENSIONS: 2.5" tall (6.4 cm) |
