| This huge Roman glass jug dates circa 1st-2nd century AD and is intact, and is in mint condition with no stress cracks and/or chips. This large piece is approximately 7.25 inches high by 5.6 inches in diameter. This pleasing light green vessel has beautiful multi-colored iridescence and nice minute root marking. There are also five decorative (lathe) wheel-cut bands that run around the main body of the piece. There is also a thick strap handle that was applied to the turned down open end. See Christie's Antiquities, New York, June 2001, no.213, for an analogous example that is 9.25 inches high. ($20,000.00-$30,000.00 estimates, and realized $23,500.00. This piece has eleven decorative wheel-cut bands, three of which are deeply cut.) Another recent comparable sold at Cristie's Antiquities, London, April 2010, no. 98, for 5625 Pounds, approximately $7600.00. ($5,700-7,900 pounds estimates. This vessel is approximately 6.5 inches high and is a light green color with six decorative wheel-cut bands. See attached photo.) The piece offered here is an exceptional large example of early Roman blown glass, and is scarce in this condition. Ex: Private English collection. Ex: Private New York collection. I certify that this piece is authentic as to date, culture, and condition: | ||||||||
