This reticulated beaker has an inscription in glass letters: FAVENTIBVS. It’s an expression of good luck (perhaps short for "Faventibus ventis" – with favourable winds). The ‘cage’ of the beaker is also glass. These items are the pinnacle of Roman glass craft 🏛️📷Kunsthistoriches 🏺 AncientBlueSky
Fascinating, when I visited the Kunsthistorisches, I specifically went for the art. Next time 😉💙
One of my absolutely favorit pieces!! 🥰🥰🥰
