<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 4408675, member: 55&quot;]I&#039;d second Marie&#039;s advice to take it to a museum.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know anything about Roman glass, but recall seeing a piece about a supposedly early Roman piece; the author pointed out that at least for the period under consideration, the Romans were not able to work with glass in the way we now take for granted in glass-blowing.</p><p>I&#039;m sure their techniques improved over time - but at that period, they were able to melt glass, but had to pour a big bunch of it out to cool, and then would break off a big chunk and carve it into a vase. Seriously a great deal of work; and it would not look at all like a blown-glass item.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
