Ca. 400-300 BC. A pale green cut glass beaker of a conical shape, standing on a small, rounded foot, providing balance and stability. The exterior walls are adorned with exquisite petal-shaped relief decorations, adding depth and texture to the piece. This cup most probably was used for drinking wine, a popular beverage in ancient Greece. The glass material allowed the drinker to appreciate the color and clarity of the wine, while the conical shape and small foot helped to prevent spills.Size: L:160mm / W:115mm ; 215gProvenance: Private London collection formerly acquired on the European Art market before 2000.
