Re: Ancient Roman glass
Anything out there has been counterfeited.
Not sure how to authenticate glass, so look for a reputable dealer.
Here is one of my dealers: Ancient Resources

Re: Ancient Roman glass
Truly amazing!
Did you scroll down to the "Gold Glass" section and notice the detail on the gold glass medallion with a portrait of a family?
It reminds me of the clarity and detail of photos from the 1890's!!

Re: Ancient Roman glass
Agree!
I saw that and couldn't believe it.
Even the lettering. I wonder how big this piece actually is?

Re: Ancient Roman glass
Found on a cross after making it's way to Italy.
I think I saw something indicating about the size of a drinking glass bottom. Maybe 3-4"

Re: Ancient Roman glass
As stated in my first post, I don't know anything about glass.
They look good. Hope they have some history and that she likes history.

Re: Ancient Roman glass
They do look nice but delicate.
Wonder if they would hold up better in a bezel or metal border. Just seems like if they twisted the wrong way, they might break at the brass ring.
