Lot 966
Small Square-sided Jug, in Green Glass. Roman, c. 2nd century AD. Jug with short cylinder neck and thick beveled rim. The body mold-blown to an even, almost square profile -- although the corners are rounded and the straight walls are a bit concave. A trailed handle is attached at one side. A truly "heavy duty" object, worked in very thick glass. Intact and perfect. Some remains of creme iridescence/patina, with occasional hint of silvery-lavender iridescence. Height: 3-5/8".
Estimated Value $350 - 500.
Square-sided bottles remain a less common form in ancient glass. Cf. Wolkenburg Collection, Christies' London, 7/9/91, lot 71a.
