All auctions / Ancient Art / Islamic Glass Vial with wells - 84 mm
Translucent yellowish glass flask with a spherical body, a horizontal shoulder, and a rounded base with a sunken and slightly domed bottom. The entire body features a molded relief pattern of diamonds arranged in a quincunx on three rows, obtained by blowing in a mold. Four small protrusions are present in the lower part of the body, from which lines converge toward the center of the base. The upper part of the body is delineated by a horizontal hem encircling the glass at the base of the shoulder. The cylindrical collar, wide, preserves in places a fine thread of dark glass applied hot in a helical groove. It terminates with a straight, cut lip that is slightly rounded. Relatively heavy and with thick walls, this glass retains partial traces of golden iridescence as well as fine black particles trapped in its mass. - Islamic period, probably Iran. - Dimension: 84 x 75 x 75 mm - Dating: 8th–11th centuries AD. - Provenance: Former French collection, Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, in the 1980s. - Literature: - Chantal Fontaine-Hodiamont, Éclat et fragilité.
