Description

Dozens of small vessels stand in rows on four tiers of dark, draped shelves against a black background. Tall slender bottles, jugs with handles, squat juglets and small flasks are set in an orderly arrangement, with the taller pieces toward the back and the smallest at the front. Some have banded or ribbed bodies, while others are plain or have narrow necks.
