Mosaic Glass Dish in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 2008

Mosaic Glass Dish in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 2008
Mosaic Glass Dish
Greek, cast, Hellenistic, 2nd-1st century BC
Said to be from the vicinity of Rome

Accession # 81.10.43

This bowl is highly decorative, with spiral designs and contrasting patches of translucent and opaque glass. It imitates an even more luxurious type of tableware, for the prominent squares of yellow glass act as substitutes for for sections of gold glass.

Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
