ROMAN MOSAIC GLASS BOWL. Ca. AD 100 - 300. A stunning mosaic glass bowl of a traditional form of the period. This patella cup presents a mesmerising pattern comprised of red and black canes, sectioned and floating in a matrix of dark green glass. The green glass is translucent, and other hues are opaque, making for a lovely pattern when held to the light. The body of the cup is supported by a tooled base ring of green glass with a blackened appearance. For similar see: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Accession Number: 1972.118.178.
