Roman Glass Goblet Iron Age

This exceptional glass goblet, a true collector’s piece, is a rare discovery from Björke, Gotland, dating back to the Roman Iron Age of the 5th century. The body features finely cut, hand-polished facets, smooth to the touch and showcasing extraordinary craftsmanship.

 Amanda, founder of Forna Glas, has received confirmation from a Swedish archaeologist based in Egypt that this piece is highly likely to have originated in Egypt or Greece, adding a remarkable layer of history and provenance to its allure. With its sturdy, well-balanced foot, this goblet is not only visually stunning but resonates with a clear, ringing tone when raised in a toast.
