DescriptionThis is a curved fragment of a cameo glass vessel, likely from a cup or vase. The decoration is executed in opaque white glass over an opaque light blue background. The surface is cameo-cut, and the curvature suggests it was part of a rounded form.
Label TextAcquired by Edward Drummond Libbey in 1919 from the family of Thomas Hulse Curtis. The Curtis collection was largely acquired in the 1890s from Charles Caryl Coleman, an American artist who resided first in Rome and later on the island of Capri. This collection history strongly suggests a findspot in or around Rome or the Bay of Naples.about 15 BCE - 25 CE (Roman, Augustan)
