Dating from the time of the Crusades, this
superb example of medieval Islamic glazed
pottery is the bright blue of the desert sky. We
can never know for certain who held it so long
ago, but there is no mistaking that it serves as a
key to unlock the door leading to the splendors
of the past. To gaze upon it is to set the
imagination on a never-ending journey.
