Byzantine Gold in Glass Tile Pair 12th-14th century AD A group of two blue glass tiles each with an inlaid gold foil geometric pattern based on concentric squares. 213 grams total, 93 x 76mm each (3 1/2 x 3"). Fine condition. [2, No Reserve] Provenance From the family collection of a Hampstead gentleman; formerly acquired in the 1980s. Literature Cf. Oliver, A., Ancient Glass in the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, 1980, no. 268; Gorin-Rosen Y., Byzantine Gold Glass from Excavations in the Holy Land in Journal of the Glass Study, 57, New York, 2015, pp. 97-119; similar piece sold at Christie's, New York, 12 June 2002. Footnotes Gold glass tiles in the 'sandwich' technique were used for the decoration of walls of churches, public buildings and rich palaces. Pieces of this group of gold glass were retrieved in Israel. One of them came from the bathhouse area at Caesarea Maritima, which includes the remains of two gold-glass squares. It is possible to suggest that this fragment, like the one in Caesarea, represents a production stage in which a gold-glass tile with four squares was made and later cut into smaller square inlays.
