| Description |
When this vessel was new, its beauty and
delicacy
must have delighted all those who saw
it. The
world has changed in many ways since
then--
Byzantium is but a golden memory, the
glory of
the past remains only in faded
fragments--but
this stunning vase continues to give
pleasure.
Time has only made it more rare and
lovelier, as
if its beauty were created centuries ago
with the
express purpose of enchanting us today.
