A lovely Anglo-Saxon glass beaker, found in Lincolnshire & rendered iridescent by time :)pic.twitter.com/DGmdKViET5
A Roman glass plate that was subsequently painted in Sasanian Persia before being transported to Japan and deposited in a 5th-century AD tomb at Nara: https://archaeologynewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2014/11/glass-dish-unearthed-in-nara-came-from.html?m=1 …pic.twitter.com/REM1ge7BGJ
I would say that the Anglo-Saxon glass is more precious, and with it being found/made 'locally' even more so. Great.
I fear the Roman dish decorated in Persia and buried in Japan is historically by far the most significant, but the patina on the Lincolnshire Anglo-Saxon glass is just stunning — well worth a visit to the Collection Museum if you get a chance :)
Will do thanks. Historically I stand corrected (:

Hah! There are many ways to establish what's most precious, the historical significance is merely one of them :) Of course, some Anglo-Saxon things also travelled similar distances too e.g. https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/729025248205668352 … :)
