Glass Bowl in Millefiori Technique

Glass Bowl in Millefiori Technique. Dimensions: H. 2 in. (5.1 cm)
Diam. of rim: 5 5/8 in. (14.3 cm). Date: 9th century.
The millefiori technique was rediscovered in the eighth or ninth century in Mesopotamia and was probably used in the production of objects for the 'Abbasid caliphs in Baghdad or Samarra. A number of surviving bowls and tiles suggest that it was used both for domestic furnishings and interior decoration. Examples such as these show the sophistication and range of Abbasid glassmakers.
