Vase c. 2th century

This Ancient Levantine glass vase, dating back to the 2nd century, is a fine example of Roman glassmaking. The vase's tall, slender form and its distinct ribbed design, which appears to be a mold-blown technique, are characteristic of the period. The vase has a simple, yet elegant design, and its pale, amber color adds to its appeal. This small, but intricately crafted piece, is a testament to the artistic skills of ancient glassblowers and the enduring beauty of Roman glass. The vase is currently housed in The Art Institute of Chicago.
