BOUTEILLE Verre H. 20,5 cm Méditerranée orientale, IIe-IVe siècle Provenance Collection européenne, acquis sur le marché de l'art anglais dans les années 1990 Importante bouteille en verre soufflé composée d'une large panse sphérique surmontée d'un col cylindrique évasé. La panse, de forme globulaire aplatie, présente un profil harmonieux reposant sur un fond légèrement concave. Le col, de section cylindrique, s'élargit progressivement vers l'embouchure, créant une lèvre évasée fonctionnelle. Le verre, d'origine probablement bleu-vert clair, est aujourd'hui entièrement recouvert d'une spectaculaire iridescence aux tons dorés, argentés et bruns-orangés, ainsi que de concrétions minérales blanchâtres témoignant d'un long enfouissement. A Roman Eastern Mediterranean Blown Glass Sizeable Bottle. 2nd-4th century A.D. Large blown glass bottle composed of a wide spherical body topped with a flared cylindrical neck. The body, of flattened globular form, presents a harmonious profile resting on a slightly concave base. The neck, of cylindrical section, gradually widens toward the mouth, creating a functional flared rim. The glass, originally probably light blue-green (aqua), is now entirely covered with spectacular iridescence in golden, silvery, and brown-orange tones, as well as whitish mineral concretions indicating long burial.
