这件可爱的小罗马玻璃器皿属于罗马晚期一类鲜为人知的微型玻璃器皿。这些小巧玲珑的宝石通常由蓝色玻璃制成,与当时的大多数玻璃不同,它们可能是由珠子制作者手工制作的,而不是吹制的。
此款产品在透明模制主体上安装有蓝色玻璃手柄,手柄下方有一个旋钮,底部有一个扁平的蓝色旋钮。主体上有漂亮的彩虹色痕迹。它可能是作为护身符佩戴的,象征着来世的凉水。
背景: 有人猜测这些玻璃器皿实际上是早期基督教护身符,是从圣地带走的遗物和/或纪念品。在《罗马、拜占庭和中世纪早期玻璃,埃内斯托·沃尔夫收藏,公元前 10 年 - 公元 700 年》一文中,斯特恩基于这些物品从圣地流向西欧的事实,为这种解释提供了依据,这支持了中东的生产和向基督教世界的传播。1998 年 4 月,伦敦佳士得古董拍卖会上,拍品编号 45 中出现了一个纯蓝色玻璃器皿,被描述为“两个拜占庭蓝色玻璃护身符,代表亚利马太的约瑟的圣器。”
古斯塔夫·艾森 (Gustavus Eisen) 在他的巨著《玻璃的起源、历史、年代学、技术和分类(十六世纪)》第 520 页中,对一个类似的容器也做出了类似的解释。根据基督教文学传统,亚利马太的约瑟的容器被用来接住耶稣受难时的鲜血。这个故事为中世纪的浪漫故事提供了基础,并为我们带来了圣杯的传说。
