GLOBULAR WINE (PC-109) Region From: Likely Shiraz, Persia. Estimated Date of Production: early to mid 1600s. Dimensions: 266 mm in height, 196 mm in circumference.

Description: Bulbous wine of a very dense and pure glass quality, one of only two known sealed examples of this style of bottle. I have had five translations of the seal, all similar but different. All translators agree that the writing is the name of a person. The script on the seal appears to translate to (from right to left in order): Built by عمل”Kholamhosein” (First Name) غلامحسن “Adham” (Last Name) ادهم عمل غلامحسن ادهم Provenance: Purchased November 2012, formerly in the Fairbourne collection.
