Since mankind first learned to shape
glass into
vessels, it has been thought of as
having a
delicate, breakable nature. It therefore
adds to
our delight to possess a vase intact
since the
days when Rome was the center of the
world.
Time may take its toll on great empires,
but it
has been known to enhance that which is
beautiful, like this vase.
- (G.0326)
