Description

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. - (GF.0141)
