スプーン

  • 東地中海地域あるいはイタリア
  • １－２世紀
  • ガラス

　青色半透明のガラスを宙吹きし、おそらく水差を作る要領で丸い胴と長い頚を作ってから、胴部を窪ませてスプーン形にし、頚の先は宝珠を付けたような形で密封したと思われる。底は平らで自立し、中空であることから、持ってみると大変軽く、しかも吹きガラスのバランスのとれた丸みは、手にも心地良い。

Catalogue Entry

This spoon was free-blown from blue, semi-translucent glass. It was probably made first in the shape of a pitcher. Then the body is hollowed and spoon-shaped, while the end of the neck is fastened with a jewel-shaped form. The base of the cup is flat so that the spoon is free-standing, and the center is hollow, which makes this very light to hold. The spoon has the rounded, balanced feel of blown glass and is comfortable to hold.
