Lot 4728
Thick Green Glass "Candlestick" Unguentarium, with Impressive Iridescence. Roman Syria, c. 2nd centu. Height: 3-1/2". This bottle is nearly spool-shaped and has a wide flang-like, straight cylindrical neck, with an equally broad, flattened disc-like body. The color of the glass is scarcely visible through the exceptional, intensely colored iridescence -- reflecting predominantly copper and green hues with cobalt accents. Intact and perfect. If one were but to own only a single example of ancient glass, why not this!
Estimated Value $300 - 450.
