Light aubergine in color, the ovoid body of this vessel blown in a two-part mold. Around the body is a frieze with a continuous vine scroll flanked above and below by a band of ridges and vertical flutes. The cylindrical neck extends into a slightly splayed lip, with in-folded rim and two delicately trailed handles. An extremely fine vase retaining some of its original fire polished surface. Excellent state of preservation.
