A splendid product of luxury craftsmanship from the 4th century AD, the Diatreta Trivulzio, known by the name of the collector who brought it to Milan in the 18th century, is the only intact example of this particular class of glass, whose manufacturing method is still debated. The glass bowl in green, hazelnut and blue color is decorated with a net made up of four rows of tangent circles marked by a cross motif at the points of contact. Below the rim runs the inscription Bibe vivas multis annis: "Drink, may you live many years". The inscription, similar to others that appear on this class of glass, seems to suggest a use as a vessel for wine. Given the rarity and value, however, it is likely that it is a prestigious object, reserved for the imperial court environment and perhaps intended solely for display but not used.
