When the Roman Empire was in its sunset, this elegantly simple vessel contained perfumed waters to be sprinkled on celebrants at some unknown rite. Today it seems redolent with a faint, lovely scent of melancholy--as if wondering why great monuments crumble, but a delicate glass vessel remains intact. - (G.0097) « Less

When great palaces and temples have fallen to the ravages of time, it seems somehow a miracle that delicate glass like this should have come through the ages intact and even more beautiful than when it was formed. We delight in its subtle brilliance, which shines like a beacon of eternal optimism in a world full of uncertainty. - (G.0098) « Less

Whose hand, we wonder, in the waning years of Rome's greatness, grasped these slender handles to sprinkle the scented water within upon the world? Did that person admire, as we do, the graceful swirling patterns of the glass, the pleasing wholeness of its shape? This lovely object becomes a direct link to that ancient life, with whom we surely share--at the least--an appreciation for exquisite beauty. - (G.0102) « Less

Surely if the perfume that once filled this exquisite vessel was as lovely as the container itself, then it must have been a rare and delicate fragrance indeed. Yet, while the scent of those ancient blossoms has vanished in the winds of time, the fragile glass has added character to its original beauty. Empty, it seems to anticipate the melancholy, romantic perfume of imagination, an ephemeral whiff of the vanished glories of antiquity. - (G.0104) « Less

What rare delicacy must once have been contained in this elegant bowl? Sorbets of snow from the mountains of Lebanon flavored with fruit syrups from Persia? The first, blushing berries of some ancient spring, plucked from the Judean hills? Surely the elegance of the contents must have matched that of the bowl, which seems a fitting receptacle for the stuff of dreams. - (G.0109) « Less

At the height of the classical age, some well- born woman adorned herself with fragrance contained in this slender vase. It was perhaps attar of roses, or jasmine, and was no doubt costly, as rare things have always been. If we hold it to our nose--as she did so long ago--we can almost smell those ancient flowers as we lose ourselves in the sad, sweet perfume of reverie. - (G.0119) « Less

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". - (G.0129) « Less

When the Roman Empire was at its height, this jug perhaps contained fine olive oil or the extracted essence of some rare spice. The preciousness of that now-vanished commodity is reflected in the use of glass, which was a luxury in its own right. Today, this superb and unusual vessel seems filled with the rarest of all essences: the scent of the past, of human history. - (G.0165) « Less
