The wrinkled surface and the colour of this vessel combine to give a naturalistic representation of a dried date. Small mould-blown flasks of this type were common in the first and second centuries A.D and have been found across the Roman Empire.This vessel would have been blown into a two-part mould of two vertical sections, it is of a honey brown colour, the rim is rounded, the neck is short. The relief patterns consist of short wavy ridges imitating the wrinkles of the skin of a ripe date. Flasks of this kind would have been probably made to store perfume.(LK) - (G.0389)   « Less

Glass was a rare commodity in antiquity, used to contain only the most costly and precious of substances. What did this vase hold when Rome was the center of the world, and who might have gripped its sinuous handle to pour out its precious contents? Though the vessel appears empty, we can fill it completely with the heady essence of imagination. - (G.0413)   « Less

'Seljuk-White' Dish - AMD.82, Origin: Central Asia, Circa: 1100 AD to 1200 AD, Dimensions: 3.1" (7.9cm) high x 5.9" (15.0cm) wide, Collection: Islamic Art, Style: Seljuk, Medium: Fritware/Composite. The so called Seljuq White-wares were very popular in Iran in the 12th and 13th Centuries and were made of composite white clear glazed fritware in Bamiyan as well as other locations. This is a Bamiyan type bowl molded with a central arabesque figure, intricately decorated with mottled and scrolling designs throughout the bowl. It has straight flaring sides on a low footring. The inside of the bowl is decorated with a generous draping design that follows through all the way around the rim and down the sides of the bowl in manganese purple, and three festive vertical splashes in a beautiful green-blue color from the mouth to the bottom of the bowl. There is a final purple flourish at the center of this highly unusual molded vessel. This piece shows striking color and form very much in line with the Bamiyan style. These fritwares form a distinct group of pottery, unified by their fabric, shapes techniques of making and decorating and their motifs. Bamiyan frit tends to be very fragile with numerous fire cracks; their method of making, with molded ornament in relief on the interior of small bowls; and in the designs themselves, linear in character, which has not been paralleled closely on any other type of wares. During the manufacturing process, they were stacked on tripods which left distinctive scars on the inside of the bowls.   « Less
