Cuenco con guirnalda

late 1st century BCE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 166
Este cuenco moldeado, obra maestra del arte vidriero, está formado por cuatro segmentos casi iguales de vidrio translúcido—violeta, amarillo, azul e incoloro—comprimidos uno junto a otro en un molde abierto. Cada segmento está decorado con una tira de vidrio mosaico polícromo (obtenida mediante la sección transversal de un haz de varillas de vidrio) representando una guirnalda colgada de un cordón blanco opaco. Se conocen muy pocas vasijas antiguas hechas con segmentos de vidrio de diferentes colores; el cuenco aquí ilustrado es el único ejemplar que combina esta técnica con una decoración de mosaico.
