## Image Caption

Ancient cast glass features a wide range of decoration, produced by fusing together different layers of colored glass. [Mosaic](https://www.worldhistory.org/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](https://www.worldhistory.org/Hellenic_World/) or [Roman](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Roman/), 2nd to mid-1st century BCE. (National Museum of [Scotland](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Scotland/), Edinburgh, UK)
