Vase with Three Handles
Egyptian, Classical, Ancient Near Eastern Art
Some of the finest works of New Kingdom glass were made during the reign of Akhenaten, perhaps under the inspiration of Asiatic glassmakers living in Egypt. Vessels such as this example were decorated with glass threads; using a thin stick before the vessel had dried, the artisan created ornate, rippled designs.
