n° 92
Titre : A Fine Marvered Purple Glass Bottle, Egypt or Syria, 7th-8th Century
Dimensions : measurements note 8.5cm. Notes : This charming vessel decorated with irregular festoons of opaque white and red glass is typical of the marvered glass production traditionally ascribed to the early Islamic period. Marvering is a versatile technique of embellishing glass, whereby a continuous spiralled trail of hot and malleable glass is applied to a dark base that is generally either purple, blue or green. The technique retained its popularity in the central Islamic lands from the seventh century until the early Mamluk period. A small number of other examples have been noted, one of which is in the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh (see Oliver, A., Ancient Glass in the Natural Museum of History, Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, 1980, no.240).Sotheby\'s, Salle de vente
