Footed Bowl

Unknown

9th–10th century · Glass; blown, impressed, and applied, tooled · Islamic Art

After the bowls were given their general shape, a design of rectangles was stamped on their walls by means of a tong-like tool, causing some misshaping in their profiles. On the footed vessel, the feet were obtained by pinching the glass while still viscous and the handle was applied afterwards.
