EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN STUNNING CORE-FORMED GLASS AMPHORISKOS
Ca. 200 BC - AD 100 . A superb core-formed glass amphoriskos, once used to hold perfumed oil. This vase has an inverted pyriform body that is finely contoured with vertical ribs and handles that gracefully join the shoulder to the cylindrical neck. This neck gradually flares to the rim, and the whole vessel is based upon a circular trailed and spherical foot. The decoration of this piece is breathtaking. The cobalt blue body is wound with shining white and tangerine yellow thread-like trails applied in a close-knit zigzag or feathered pattern. The tangerine trails continue above the feathered pattern and encircle the rim and the foot. It is a divine work of glass art to be treasured for its impeccable form, beautiful hues, and sophisticated technique. For similar see: Christie's, Live Auction 2490, Antiquities, lot 71. Size: 160mm x 70mm; Weight: 160g Provenance: Prince collection, 1990s-2014; Ex. Christie's. This item has been cleared against the Art Loss Register database and comes with a confirmation letter. This piece is accompanied by a historical report from Alessandro Neri, an international Cultural Heritage expert based in Florence, Italy.
