Exquisite Roman glass cup signed by master glassmaker ‘Ennion’. AD 30-70. Ennion was the first glassmaker to ‘brand’ his work by incorporating his name into the mould’s design, some 2000 years ago! Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Adria 📷 Leonardo.disimone #Archaeology
![Photo of an intact Roman two-handled translucent cobalt blue glass cup dated AD 30-70. The cup has a cylindrical body with vertical sides and two narrow strap handles attached to each side as ear-shaped loops. The cup is mould-blown with relief decoration on the body which incorporates two inscriptions in Greek, one on each side of the cup. One side reads ‘ENNIWN/ENOIH/CEN’ (‘Ennion made [it]'). The other side reads ‘MNHOH/O AOPA/ZNW translated as ‘May the buyer be remembered’.
Dimensions: Height 2½ in. (6.4 cm), diameter (rim): 3% in. (9.5 cm)
Collection Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Adria, Italy.
Incredibly this is one of two matching cups blown from the same mould, found together in a Roman tomb at Cuora, near Adria, Italy, in the early 1900s. The matching cup is now part of the collections at the Corning Museum of Glass](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j56ydp325adovobhwpkzc6sp/bafkreieyzv5zqbzdfqwmjq2voan57tagx23eg734blorwveesickcrkg4i)
