Often described as a “lotus bud” because the knobs resemble the bud of the lotus, this pattern was very popular in the first century A.D. Such beakers were made in many sizes; this example is impresssively large at 20.2 cm tall and 8.7 cm wide.Object of the Week: Ionic Structure of Glass, Dominick Labino, Grand Rapids, Ohio, United States, 1979.
