The graceful form of this vessel make it as
appealing to the modern eye as it no doubt was
to the ancient age that created it. Looking at its
elegant contours, we do not doubt that its now-
vanished contents--probably wine-- was of the
finest quality. Today, its timeless beauty holds
only the seductive fragrance of imagination. One
whiff sends us traveling backward through time
into a mysterious world.
