Goblet c. 101 - 600

This ancient Roman goblet, crafted from glass and dating back to 101-600 AD, is a testament to the artistry of the time. The vessel is characterized by its iridescent surface, achieved through a process known as "dipping" where the glass was submerged in a molten metal bath. The result is a mesmerizing display of colors, with the surface shimmering with blues, greens, and purples. The goblet's simple yet elegant form, featuring a bowl-shaped top and a short, sturdy stem, highlights the beauty of the material itself, showcasing both the skill of the glassblower and the captivating effects of the "dipping" technique. The goblet's remarkable preservation offers valuable insight into the artistic practices of the Roman Empire.
