| Description |
The functional simplicity of this vessel lends it a
timeless elegance that appeals to contemporary
tastes as much as it did to ancient ones. Even
after the passage of millennia, the design of such
a pot could hardly be improved upon. What did it
once contain, we wonder, and who poured from
its spout and drank? Did those ancient people
stop, as we do, to admire the grace of the vessel
as they held it in their hands? We feel in its
presence a direct bond with those long-
forgotten individuals.
