Lot Essay

For two other beakers almost certainly fabricated from the same mold, see pp. 70-72 in Y. Israeli, Made by Ennion: Ancient Glass Treasures from the Shlomo Moussaieff Collection. These vessels were likely produced in a workshop operating in the vicinity of Ennion’s atelier and have been found as far afield as Knossos on Crete and ed-Dur in the United Arab Emirates, thus demonstrating the extent of trade routes during the 1st century (op. cit., p. 69).
