| Description |
A splendid masterpiece of early glassmaking, this
rare little flask must once have contained a
perfume whose every drop was precious. Though
the fragrance of ancient flowers has faded, we
are reminded of their long-ago brightness by the
rich colors of the vessel itself. It is a true classic
in every respect, an object whose beauty grows
ever lovelier with the passage of time.
