The graceful, simple lines of this emerald-hued jar are timelessly beautiful. We don't know what it once was filled with, or who might have held it and used its precious contents of oils or balm, but we do know that it has history, a past, touching upon long forgotten lives. The vessel only seems to be empty: It is filled to the top with the fragrant perfume of the imagination. - (FZ.186)
