Hi everyone.
This item has been in my possession for about five years. It's blue
glass with gold leaf decoration, as you can see. It has been broken into fragments, and badly repaired.
In fact, it looks quite peculiar. The
glass is covered in what appear to be air bubbles, all of which 'streak' horizontally or vertically, which again, I've not seen before. None the less, it seems to be a fairly unique piece.
Can anybody give me any opinions about authenticity or age? It seems funny that it has no
iridescence, but I know virtually nothing about
ancient glass (even though a fragment of
Roman glass is the only ancient thing I have ever actually found in the ground!).
Any opinions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
