The origins of glass making can be traced back at least to the 3rd millennium BC but were limited to forms that could be poured around moulds with limited ability to create a wide variety of forms. However by roughly the beginning of the 1st Century AD glass workers had found that molten glass could be manipulated with tools which enabled artisans to create a wider variety of forms.
This wonderful vase has a round, globular form body with cylindrical neck. There is an amber hue to the bottle which has irridescent qualities. The bottle stands on a lucite and wire stand to stabilize.
Together with its certificate of antiquity from Tarshish - J. Zadok & Sons, 18, King David Rd. Jerusalem, Israel.
Provenance: Rabbi Robert A. Rothman
2 1/4"H
Condition: There is surface scuffing to areas but incredibly the vase is in good overall condition and presents exceptionally well.
