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.
