Bol décoré de guirlandes

late 1st century BCE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 166
Tour de force de cette lointaine époque, ce bol en verre moulé est divisé en quatre quadrants à peu près égaux, en verre translucide ( pourpre, jaune, bleu et incolore), pressés ensemble dans un moule ouvert. Chacun a ensuite été décoré d’une bande de verre du type millefiori (section transversale d’un assemblage de tiges de verre) représentant une guirlande suspendue à un cordon blanc opaque. L’ Antiquité a livré très peu de ces récipients ainsi composés de grandes sections ou bandes de verre de couleurs différentes. Ce bol est par ailleurs le seul qui combine cette technique à une décoration mosaïquée.
