| Description |
The functional simplicity of this vessel lends it a
timeless elegance that appeals to contemporary
tastes as much as it surely 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.
