A rare--possibly unique--early example of the glassmaker's art, this vase appears as if carved from jade, alabaster or some similar gemstone. In fact, as glass, it was even more precious to the age that created it. Time has in no way diminished that rarity, and we today can continue to delight in its astonishing beauty. - (GF.0007) Origin: Houran,Syria Circa: 4000 BC to 2000 BC Dimensions: 2.65" (6.7cm) high Catalogue: V1 Collection: Biblical Style: Bronze Age Medium: Glass
