Glass mosaic bowl fragments

Greek

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 171

Translucent deep turquoise blue, opaque white, yellow, and red.

Hemispherical bowl fragment with a vertical rim with rounded edge; convex curving side.

Composite mosaic pattern formed from polygonal sections of a single composite cane in a turquoise ground with a yellow spiral and central dot in red; interspersed with this cane are three small irregular segments in solid white. A network cane wound spirally with blue, yellow, white, and red trails is attached as a rim. One of the white segments only appears on the interior of the side.

Broken and repaired from eight pieces, with one hole in rim and another in side; on interior, dulling, pitting, and iridescent weathering, and on exterior, pitting of surface bubbles and modern polishing.
