| Description |
Everything about this vessel contributes
to its
status as a masterpiece: its exquisite
color (the
most prized for glass), its elegant,
classic shape,
and its miniature size. In the Roman
world it
must have held the most precious of
perfumes.
Even empty, the romance of antiquity
seems to
float gently from its midnight-colored
depths.
- (G.0392)
