Analyse esthétique et formelle
This luminous vase seems not to be made from blown glass but rather carved from some radiant precious gem. Though its shimmering iridescence is the product of centuries of burial, it seems far too beautiful not to have been planned by some far--sighted craftsman when Rome was at her peak. Like all rare treasures, this vessel becomes even more so with the passage of time.
