Mosaic glass containers were hugely popular amongst the Romans, in particular during the late 1st Century B.C. when the technique was first introduced by craftsmen from the Hellenistic world. The labour-intensive manufacturing process involved the creation of multi-coloured glass canes which were then sliced and moulded together to create dazzling floral and abstract patterns.
For a mosaic glass shallow dish composed of white swirls in a blue matrix, cf. P. L. W. Arts, A Collection of Ancient Glass 500 BC – 500 AD, Lochem, 2000, p. 41, no. 14.
