W. Froehner, Collection Julien Gréau. Verrerie Antique, Émallerie et Poterie Appartenant à M. John Pierpont Morgan, Paris, 1903, p. 153, no. 1110, pl. 192,8.
The Greau handle was made in the highest quality cast and cut glass of the early Roman imperial period, from a type of vessel more usually found in silver and bronze. In form it is reminiscent of the cameo glass dipper found in Pompeii in about 1834 and preserved in the Museo Nazionale Archeologico, Naples, which was also made in cast deep blue glass cf. K. Painter and D. Whitehouse, “II. Early Roman Cameo Glasses”, Journal of Glass Studies 32, 1990, pp. 153-4, figs 116-17. This dipper is decorated in the centre with a Silenus mask in opaque white surrounded by a garland of ivy leaves and clusters of grapes, the long handle (14 cm. long) with a terminal in the form of a ram’s head in opaque white.
