| This Roman glass jug is approximately 3.5 inches high and is in mint condition, with no cracks and/or chips. This piece is a light blue/green color, and has sections of a multi-colored iridescence. This piece dates circa late 3rd-4th century A.D., and is classified as a "Late Blue-Green Mould-Blown Series" by John W. Hayes in "Roman and Pre-Roman Glass in the Royal Ontario Museum", Toronto, Canada, 1975, p. 87. This piece is analogous to a piece illustrated in this work and it is no. 432, which also shows vertical fluting on the lower body, inward base with pontil-mark, thin elongated neck, and a very thin applied handle. The handle seen on the piece offered here is very dainty and remarkably thin, but durable. A choice example of Roman blown glass. Ex: Private New York collection. I certify that this piece is authentic as to date, culture, and condition: | |||||||
