In the classical world, when a loved one died, mourners would catch their falling tears in a bottle like this and bury them as a token of eternal devotion. The tears have vanished with time, but the bottle endures as a talisman of some ancient passion. Delicate as a teardrop itself, it reminds us that the essential human emotions have hardly changed since it captured someone's sadness. When we hold it today and think of that lost love, the emotion is reborn across the ages. - (GF.0160) « Less

Centuries ago, mankind learned to shape and mold glass into works of delicate beauty. Transparent or opaque, simple or ornate, richly colored or somber in hue, glass was prized as an ornament by queen and commoner alike. The Romans especially enjoyed wearing glass jewelry of elegant shape and in colors that imitated rare and precious gems like lapis, turquoise, agate or onyx. Imagine this lovely bangle adorning the arm of some ancient beauty as she went, laughing with her friends, to the market, the theater or the baths. Perhaps it was one of many, giving her arm the rich glow of a peacock's tail. From such a simple but charming clue, we can imagine a vanished life, an entire world. - (GF.0189) « Less

The Romans especially enjoyed wearing glass jewelry of elegant shape and in colors that imitated rare and precious gems like lapis, turquoise, agate or onyx. As is still common today in the Mediterranean, children wore jewelry that echoed the fashions of adults. Imagine this pretty bracelet upon the slender wrist of a child in the classical age. We can hear the child's laugh, echoed by the jangle of her bracelets. From such a clue as this we can imagine a vanished life, an entire world. - (GF.0191) « Less

At the height of the Roman Empire, this magnificent vessel perhaps held rare oils or precious attars, some substance worthy of the container. Though the Romans perfected its manufacture, glass was still considered a luxury item until modern times. A large piece like this was treated as a work of art. Its present beauty, elusive as a dream, derives from the blending of elegant shape, delicate color, and rarity. While many great empires have come and gone since it was new, this superb vessel has survived the ages intact. Its graceful charm transcends time: we share our pleasure with people who lived centuries ago. - (GF.0202) « Less

The narrow hole in the neck of this glass bottle identifies it as a sprinkler. Such vessels, perhaps filled with scented water, were shaken to perfume the air in homes or in shrines during religious festivals. Its elegant simplicity of line is as pleasing to the modern eye as it no doubt was to the classical culture that created it. As we hold it in our hands today, we are aware of the touch of other hands long ago. What dreams and passions moved the person who last held it in antiquity? We shake the vessel gently, but it is filled only with the melancholy perfume of a vanished world. - (GF.0212) « Less

Glass has been prized by mankind for centuries. The qualities that delighted the ancients, the clarity, transparency, brilliance and malleability of glass, are the same ones that appeal to modern sensibilities. Early writers described glass in terms of wonderment: "Congealed of air, condensed of sunbeams, molded from the light of the open plain, or peeled from a white pearl." The passage of centuries serves to make glass even lovelier than when it was new, for time graces its surface with a jewel-like iridescence. We today cannot help but marvel that something so delicately lovely has survived since Rome was at her height. In our pleasure at its beauty, we transcend the ages, and share our emotions with the citizens of a vanished world. - (GF.0217) « Less
