Small Roman pale blue twin-handled glass jar
This is what we believe to be a small Roman pale blue twin-handled glass jar dating from the 4th century, c350. An almost identical jar is featured in the book “Histoire de Verre L’Antiquité” by Florence Slitine on page 88. The book is available on Amazon. The jar is in excellent condition for its age. This means, of course, that it shows iridescence and age related wear and tear consistent with some 1700 years of use. The jar has a bulbous body measuring 6 cm (2.4 inches) in diameter at the rim. The jar reaches a maximum diameter of 7.5 cm (3 inches) and is 6.3 cm (2.5 inches) in height. It is decorated with four trailed bands in a deeper blue/green glass and a zig-zag pattern to the base in the same darker glass. It has two handles attached of the same darker glass. There is a tiny shallow chip to the bowl rim. There are no other chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration. The jar shows significant iridescence due to the time it spent underground. It has a collector’s sticker to the base. It is made from soda metal weighing just 62 g. Provenance: With Pars Antiques in 1994 and since then in a private UK collection. Quote stock number: 5311.
