ROMAN MOSAIC GLASS BOWL
Ca. AD 100 - 300A stunning Roman mosaic glass bowl of a traditional form of the period, this patella cup presents a mesmerising pattern comprised of red and black canes, sectioned and floating in a matrix of dark green glass. The green glass is translucent, and other hues are opaque - making for a lovely pattern when held to the light. The body of the cup is supported by a tooled base ring of green glass with a blackened appearance.
