This is a lovely example of a Hellenistic grooved bowl, probably produced in the Syro-Palestinian coastal zone, which, under the reign of the Seleucid kings, became one of antiquity’s most prolific producers of glassware. This bowl is hemispherical in shape and is decorated with lathe-cut grooves just below the rim. Like many glass vessels of this type, the glass is naturally translucent but somewhat “muddy” in appearance.
