Miniature jugs, less than 1 inch that can be strung on cord to wear, with a bit of cotton inside and a drop of favorite essential oil or perfume. Based on examples from the 3rd-5th Centuries CE found across the Mediterranean, their purpose remains unclear: to hold water or soil from a sacred spring or pilgrimage site? Fun to make. I'll have some at the "Mira Las Cruces" festival April 25. #glass #hotglass #lampworking #handmade #ancientglass #arthistory #MastoArt #lascrucesnm #newmexico

A seriously difficult piece of ancient glass to photograph properly. This small 3rd-4th
c. CE Roman glass vessel has *thirteen* handles. Some residue remains inside, and it probably came from a tomb somewhere in the eastern Mediterranean. #GettyVilla #ancientglass #RomanGlass

This small 1st c. CE Roman glass beaker or cup features several decorative bands, including a wreath pattern. An inscription in Greek suggests the beaker's festive function:

KATAXAIPE KAI EYΦPAINOY ("Rejoice and be of good cheer"). I'll toast to that! #GettyVilla #ancientglass #archaeology

From a visit to the #GettyVilla a couple of weeks ago, here's a luminous 1st c. BCE Roman mosaic cast glass bowl from a workshop in the eastern Mediterranean. It's comprised of blue (cobalt) and white (antimony and tin oxide) rods fused and melted into a disc, and placed over a form. Broken and repaired at some point in its past. #ancientglass #archaeology

Didn't have time to post yesterday for Rome's birthday. Traditionally, Rome's founding date is April 21, making Rome 2,775 years old. Here are images of ancient Roman glass in The Corning Museum of Glass.1. Mosaic glass bowl. Italy or East Mediterranean, 125-1 BCE. 2. Dish cover in the form of a fish. Probably Italy, 1st Century CE. 3. Wine pitcher with applique of a follower of Dionysus at the handle. Probably Italy, 50-75 CE. #ancientglass #Romanglass #antiquities #ancientart #arthistory
