This exquisite cosmetic jar was perhaps the possession of a beautiful woman during the Golden Age of Rome. It may have contained some fragrant balm which--as the decoration suggests--smelled of honeysuckle blossoms. Beauty, like the flower, blooms and fades and leaves behind few clues. It could be just our imaginations, of course, but somehow in the presence of this lovely vessel we are able to vividly remember that ancient life... - (GF.0024) « Less

This attractive glass vessel dates to the heyday of glass production in the Mediterranean. It is an unusual shape, a barrel-like, rounded flask with sharply angled base and shoulders, the apex giving rise to a graceful slope up to a double- rimmed, straight-lipped mouth. The shoulder and the base of the neck are joined by a twisted handle with relief working on the upper side. The ground is green, with a patina of age that bestows an attractive opalescence. The function of the piece is uncertain, but its size suggests that it is for a consumable – perhaps an alcoholic beverage – rather than makeup or other items associated with unguentaria. « Less

Throughout history, man has sought to preserve those things which are precious to him, to pass them on to future generations. While great stone monuments and mighty empires might crumble, memory and faith often endure and gain beauty, as this fragile glass has. Its simple beauty seems to express an eternal optimism about surviving against the odds. - (GF.0029) « Less

An amphoriskos is a short form of a jar with two handles usually located on the shoulders of the vessel.The handles are not always suitable for carrying, and it is likely that they were designed for suspension. Like jugs, amphoriskoi were initially blown in ribbed moulds and then firther inflated. « Less

Though Rome ruled the world when this amazing vase was created, the vessel projects an aura of startling modernity. The powerful abstraction of its unusual handles lends it a graceful, sculptural beauty that delights the eye and tempts the hand. A work of timeless and vibrant beauty, a gift from the ancient world, completely at home in the modern one. - (GF.0087) « Less

Where once this delicate vessel was filled with rare fragrance, today it contains only the seductive perfume of mystery. Who held it all those centuries ago when the classical world was in full bloom? Did that person admire its fragile beauty without for a moment imagining that the glass would survive long after the Roman Empire had vanished? When we also are drawn to the lovely shape and colors of this flask, we are linked directly to that ancient life. - (GF.0111) « Less

Like a rose, the precious scent this vessel once held was guarded by thorn-like protrusions. The spikes could not hold back the hand of time, however, which has robbed the vessel of its fragrant contents. As if to compensate for that loss, the centuries have added a luster as radiant as moon glow to the surface of the glass. - (GF.0115) « Less

Imagine the ancient hands that held this delicate glass when Rome was in her glory: the hands of the craftsman who molded it: those of the merchant who filled it with precious perfume; the touch of the person who held the bottle to her nose and inhaled the rich fragrance. The history of this vessel, the glow of those long-ago lives, is there for us to perceive, invisible but not intangible. It only takes a little imagination... - (GF.0139) « Less

When Rome was in her golden age, some citizen of her empire might have sipped wine from this elegant cup. Perhaps that wine was the local vintage of the Lebanon, or it may have been imported from Gaul or the islands of Greece, all of which were part of Rome's domain. As we hold this lovely vessel in our hands today, we are aware of the touch of those ancient hands. When the glory of the classical age has vanished with time, it seems a miracle that this delicate vessel has survived to delight us today. - (GF.0158) « Less
