Lot Essay

This beaker presents a very slight everted rim and downward sloping pierced lugs. On the interior the manufacturing ridges can still be felt as it was difficult for the sculptor to access the narrowing base of the vessel to smooth them away. The boss right at the bottom of the cavity is also still visible.
