ROMAN STRIPED MOSAIC BOWL

Ca. AD 100 - 300 A stunning Roman striped mosaic glass bowl of a traditional form from the period.

The green glass is translucent, and other hues are opaque - making for a lovely pattern when held to the light. A tooled base hemispherical glass base supports the body of the cup. For similar see: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Accession Number: 91.1.1391.
