10th-12th century A.D. A glass bottle with globular body, broad shoulder, tapering cylindrical neck and pontil to base, applied trail to base of neck, honeb motif to the body. Cf. Al-Hassan, A. Y., Science and Technology in Islam: Technology and Applied Sciences, UNESCO, 2001. 159 grams, 24 cm high (9 1/2 in."). Fernand Adda (d.1965) collection, formed in the 1920s. Collection of Mrs Petra Schamelman, Breitenbach, Germany. Private collection of a Kensington collector. Property of a London gentleman. Glass makers created wares for mosques, houses, and palaces, as well as for the early Islamic scholars who were pioneering the fields of optics and chemistry. Aleppo and Damascus were particular centres of production, with Egypt, Iraq, and Spain also producing incredible glass. These were then traded throughout the known world, including the Viking North Atlantic and China. This glass bottle was probably produced in Iran or Egypt.
