Ca. 200-300 AD. A graceful greenish glass jug that exudes a sense of delicate beauty and refined elegance. The jug's tubular lower body is adorned with evenly spaced vertical ribbing features, creating a fascinating play of light and shadow that enhances the glass's transparency and luminosity. The ribbed body of the jug leads to a broad funnel-shaped neck that is both practical and ornamental. Its exquisite form, reminiscent of a blooming flower, showcases the glassmaker's ability to shape glass into delicate and intricate patterns. The neck's folded rim adds a touch of sophistication to the jug's design, highlighting the glass's smooth and lustrous surface. The jug's applied strap handle is a functional element that also adds an artistic touch to the design. Its curved shape fits comfortably in the hand, making it easy to carry and pour liquids. The base of the jug is round and concave, with a pontil mark that is a visible sign of the glassmaker's work. The pontil mark is a result of the glassmaker's technique of breaking off the glass at the end of the manufacturing process. The concave base provides stability to the jug, ensuring that it remains upright even when filled with liquid.Size: L:130mm / W:70mm ; 60gProvenance: Property of a North London gentleman; previously acquire on the UK/European art market in the 1980s.
