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.
