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 bowl imitates the translucence of semi-precious stone. Hellenistic or Roman, 2nd to mid-1st century BCE. (National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh, UK)
