We are pleased to announce that our Trust for Ancient Art has rounded out the year by facilitating the donation of a collection of ancient Roman glass from an anonymous Atlanta collector, acquired many years ago in Israel, to the Mint Museum of Art in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Mint had previously benefited from the Trust’s donation of a superb Medieval English encaustic glazed floor tile. A few images of the Roman glass vessels now at the Mint Museum are included here.
Clio Ancient Art and Antiquities seeks to make antiquities and artifacts of the Mediterranean world accessible to a wide audience while offering print and electronic resources to both the novice and experienced collector of ancient art. With 25 years experience collecting and extensive travel in the Mediterranean world, owner Chris Maupin has consulted on ancient art for museums and private collectors.
