| This huge Roman glass jug dates circa 1st-2nd century AD and is in intact condition, 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 vessel has nice multi-colored iridescence and minute root marking. There are also five lathe 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, 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 also has lathe cut bands that run around the vessel.) 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: | |||||||
