Museum Worthy, Ancient Roman Large Glass Cup with Handle and Raised Leaf Designs Intact. Stunning ancient Roman glass cup with handle of impressive size. Glass originally near clear which now is encrusted with a light smattering of iridescence and mineral deposits. We note rare. raised leaf designs surrounding the body created by glass threads. The cup measures 10 x 10 cm. The cup has had a professional repair about 5 cm near the cup handle and any fissures from that break have been stabilized. Otherwise this cup is a magnificent example of the tableware of Ancient Rome and it remains a fascinating study. Estimated Value $600 - 1,000
