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. - (PF.3331)

The smooth contours and elegant simplicity of this vessel are as pleasing to the modern eye as they no doubt were to the ancient one. Such a vessel may have held oils or balms in the time of the biblical patriarchs. In the Old Testament, it describes how Abraham anointed Isaac with oil in preparation for sacrifice. He might have used a vessel similar to this one. As we hold it in our hands today, we are aware of the touch of other hands long ago. Across the ages, we are connected in an intimate way with that vanished world. - (PF.2256)

In Israel, as in other ancient nations, it was customary to dedicate persons or objects to sacred use by anointing them with oil. Thus Samuel anointed Saul king, as Moses had hallowed the tabernacle and Aaron the high priest before, and Abraham had sanctified Isaac. A vessel such as this--simple but elegant--may have contained oil for ritual use. Whose hands might have held it so long ago we can only guess; yet the connection is a direct one between our age and theirs. - (SP.643)
