Fragment of a vessel, glass, millefiori technique, Total: Height: 2.90 cm; Width: 2.10 cm, container, storage, kitchen work, floral ornaments, Early Imperial Period, A slight curvature of the heavily weathered glass fragment allows the assignment to a vessel, possibly a bowl. On a presumably violet background, a grid can be seen, reminiscent of honeycombs, in which circularly arranged bright dots can be seen. For the production, different colored glasses were formed into tubes and rods. These were pressed together and heated, resulting in a long rod. The glass, now cut into slices, had different amorphous or floral patterns. Several of these plates were then folded together, heated again and pressed into a vessel form. Due to the complex manufacturing process and its fragility, glass was considered one of the luxury articles of antiquity.
