Like a bright jewel from the fast, radiant with the colors of the Mediterranean spring, this vase continues to bring pleasure to all who see it. The small thrill we take in its exquisite form and fresh hues is surely little different from that felt by its original owner many centuries ago. If we hold it to our nose, we can almost catch the faint melancholy perfume of flowers that bloomed long ago.
