Illustration
Ancient cast glass features a wide range of decoration, produced by fusing together different layers of colored glass. Mosaic patterns were created by cutting colored glass canes in cross-section, and marble glass was mould-blown into shape. This bottle imitates the translucence of semi-precious stone. Roman, Alexandrian or Italian, mid-1st century BCE to early 1st century CE. (National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh, UK)
