Piatto con ghirlande

late 1st century BCE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 166
Capolavoro dell’antica arte vetraria, questo piatto si compone di quattro sezioni distinte, all’incirca della stessa dimensione, di vetro traslucido viola, giallo, blu e trasparente, pressate insieme in uno stampo aperto. Ogni sezione è stata successivamente ornata con un’ulteriore striscia a mosaico con pezzetti di vetro colorato (una sezione di astine di vetro raggruppate) che raffigurano una ghirlanda appesa a un filo bianco opaco. Pochissimi esemplari di vasellame composti da grandi sezioni o fasce di vetro di colore diverso sono giunti a noi dall’antichità, e questo piatto è l’unico esempio in cui quella tecnica si sposa con la decorazione a mosaico.
