Footed Bowl, 1st century B.C. Additional Info: Roman mosaic cast glass bowl of ribbon decoration created by laying a series of canes parallel to one another, followed by sintering and sagging into a mold. Three types of canes were used in this bowl: a dark brown/red cane, an opaque white glass embedded in a clear glass matrix, and a cane of clear glass encasing an opaque white strip and embedded in clear glass. These were arranged in an alternating pattern, perhaps in imitation of onyx. Incised hatch marks survive on the interior of the rim; the ring foot was added by attaching a gather of amber colored glass and trailing at around the base. The interior and the exterior were rotary polished. The bowl been reconstructed from fragments.
