Ca. 100-300 ADA glass beaker with an everted rounded rim. The bulbous body with lovely iridescence, tapering to a slightly concave base. Glass beakers were a common drinking vessel in the Roman period. However, by the Late Roman period (4th-5th century AD), good quality glass tableware such as this one was less common and could have been used as a showpiece and perhaps even as an indicator of social standing or wealth within the Late Roman household, especially when displayed in the public area of the house.Size: L:78mm / W:80mm ; 35gProvenance: From the Helge Deikner collection, North Rhine-Westphalia since before 1980.
