A drinking vessel with a bowl that rests on a stemmed foot. Gold-glass roundel. Roman Empire, Italy, 4th century A.D. D. 9.7 cm. Gold glass The term applied to several types of Hellenistic and ancient Roman glass objects decorated with designs cut and/or engraved in gold leaf, which is sandwiched between two fused layers of glass. Hellenistic gold glass was made by sandwiching the decoration between two closely fitting, cast, ground, and polished vessels, which were then fused. Many Roman gold glasses apparently were made by applying the gold leaf to the surface of an object, reheating it, and inflating a parison against the decorated surface.

The word comes from Middle English gobelet, Old French gobel, these meaning cup, and it is thought likely the word was originally Celtic.
