The fall of the Roman Empire plunged into
darkness, but in the east many of the classical
traditions continued, as this charming vase in
the best glass working mode shows. Who might
have made it? Who held it? And what did it
contain? These are secrets that are not
immediately revealed, yet in the presence of this
delightful vessel we find it easy to imagine the
answers.
