It is difficult to say what about this gorgeous vase is more fascinating: its advanced age or its fresh aesthetic appeal. When we realize how long ago it was created, we are amazed that it has survived the perils of time. We are also in awe of its simple grace, which delights us today as it must have pleased its original owners when Rome still ruled the world. A piece that truly defines the word "classic".
