| Description: |
An elegant, translucent, pale blue-green glass lotus bud beaker with a mold-blown body presenting four rows of raised lotus buds interspersed with round bosses, an overall upward gently flaring profile, a base with concentric circles in relief, and a round rim with a fine wheel-cut line below. During the 1st century A.D. lotus bud beakers were extremely popular and were created by using a series of different molds. This particular style, featuring ample lotus buds interspersed with bosses was created by using one of the most elaborate molds. Light earthen deposits as well as faintly silvery and rainbow iridescence throughout. Normal surface wear commensurate with age and weathering. Base of vessel reattached with a stable hair line half way up one side, otherwise intact. Custom lucite base. A rare and beautiful example. |
