The beautiful ‘blue vase’ comes from a tomb near Pompeii’s Herculaneum Gate. The white cameo shows Dionysian imagery including birds, vines, Silenus masks.
Cupids harvest grapes from vines, press them, and sit on columns playing instruments.

A #RomanGlass cup made with coloured glass rods known as ‘millefiori’ from #Pompeii. It was preserved in the AD 79 Vesuvius eruption material. Glass objects like this are luxurious things and would have been expensive.

This week something a bit unusual from the Archaeological Museum in Split and originally from Salona.
It is the base of a glass mould to blow a rectangular bottle. 1/2

Roman glass was luxury, science, and sustainability in one. Crafted from Egyptian natron and British sand, this elegant vessel shows the skill of Roman glassmakers, who even recycled broken pieces into new ones.

📍 See it at St Albans Museum + Gallery.

Viking Age is my main interest, but a beautiful Roman glass piece I can’t resist. Especially when it’s found in my home country. #lovehistory #romanglass
A beautiful #Roman blue glass bowl, recovered during excavations in the city of Nijmegen (Netherlands). Not only is it a very lovely piece of glass, but it was actually found completely intact - not even a crack! - which is remarkable for a piece of 2000 year old glassware! AncientBlueSky

A #Roman ribbed glass bowl, in a pale shade of bluey-green. It is in beautiful condition despite being about 2000 years old; this type of glass vessel was very popular in the early Imperial period.

Fascinating world of ancient #glass: an amazing #Roman glass garland bowl, that represents a peak of Roman glassmaker’s skill at producing vessels. Very few ancient vessels were made of large sections or bands of different colored glass, and this is the only known example that combines...🧵1/2
