Byzantine Glass Trio - Perfume Flask & Child Bracelets

Ancient Near East, Byzantine, ca. 5th to 8th century CE. A trio of Byzantine glass objects appears here like soft echoes of domestic life in the late antique world: two slender bracelets shaped in contrasting palettes and a miniature flask once meant to hold a treasured drop of scented oil. The first bracelet is crafted from pale blue green glass, its spiraling form created by twisting the molten band around an opaque white core. The resulting helix of color feels almost confectionary, a deliberate interplay of translucence and opacity prized in Byzantine glass workshops. The second bracelet, darker and moodier, is formed from deep violet glass. Though weathered by time, its tone still holds that quiet purple richness favored in the eastern Mediterranean. Size of largest (bottle): 0.5" L x 1.3" W x 3.7" H (1.3 cm x 3.3 cm x 9.4 cm) The first bracelet is crafted from pale blue green glass, its spiraling form created by twisting the molten band around an opaque white core.

The second bracelet, darker and moodier, is formed from deep violet glass. Though weathered by time, its tone still holds that quiet purple richness favored in the eastern Mediterranean. As a grouping, these pieces offer a gentle portrait of everyday Byzantine adornment and ritual, where small objects of glass carried beauty, scent, and meaning through the rhythms of daily life.
