Description

It is hard to tell where the hand of nature left off and that of man took over ln the creation of this masterful symphony of beauty. The gracefully shaped handles are like the shoots of rare plants pushing their way up from the earth; the swirling patterns of the body are gentle as wind rippling across water. Admiring its subtle loveliness, we are aware that though the vessel was created when Rome ruled the world, time alone has brought it to full perfection. - (G.0198)
