As we’ve been ensconced in meetings for the past 2 weeks, I thought a treat for the team would appreciated….yesterday I walked over to Maritxu in Carnaby Street and picked up some Basque cheesecake.

Let’s just say everyone enjoyed it❣️

So.damn.good!!!

My photo shows a Hellenistic hemispherical yellow glass bowl measuring 12.8 cm in diameter and 7 cm in height. A reflection of the bowl can be seen in the display case glass behind. 
The bowl is composed of thin threads of colourless, opaque yellow, and dark purple glass, twisted together and then spiralled around a convex mould. Scholars refer to this type of mosaic glassware as a ‘network’ vessel. Dated 270-246 BC, it was found at Canosa di Puglia in Italy, which at that time was a Hellenistic Greek colony. It was in fragments when found, and has since been reconstructed, with 15% of the reconstruction made of modern material. Place of manufacture eastern Mediterranean. Part of the collections at Landesmuseum Württemberg, Stuttgart, Germany.

This beautiful glass bowl looks modern, yet it’s about 2,250 years old! 🤩

Made using an innovative technique in which thin threads of twisted glass were spiralled over a convex mould. Wonderful example of the skill of ancient artisans!

– ¿Qué te llevó a alistarte?

– La pobreza. La primera herramienta de reclutamiento del ejército es ir a zonas empobrecidas y ofrecer lo que EEUU no ofrece: sanidad, educación, alojamiento, ingresos, estabilidad... Ofrecemos a nuestros soldados socialismo para ir a luchar por el capitalismo.
