Having acquired Roman glass blowing techniques, glass craftsmanship flourished in Sasanian Persia, which was then widely introduced to the Eurasian continent.This is a light green glass bowl with protruding designs on its body and bottom. The designs are the result of a highly sophisticated technique whereby the surface of the bowl was pinched with a tweezer-like tool before the glass cooled down.
