330 .. $a Among glass craftsmen active in the first century A.D., the most famous and gifted
was Ennion, who came from the coastal city of Sidon in modern Lebanon. Ennion's glass
stood out for its quality and popularity, and his products are distinguished by the
fine detail and precision of their relief decoration, which imitates designs found
on contemporary silverware. This publication examines the most innovative and elegant
known examples of Roman mould-blown glass, providing a uniquely comprehensive, up-to-date
study of these exceptional works. Included are some twenty-six remarkably preserved
examples of drinking cups, bowls and jugs signed by Ennion himself, as well as fourteen
additional vessels that were clearly influenced by him. The informative texts and
illustrations effectively convey the lasting aesthetic appeal of Ennion's vessels,
and offer an accessible introduction to an ancient art form that reached its apogee
in the early decades of the Roman Empire.
