Delicate red, yellow, and white fugitive pigments embellish the slender neck and sloping shoulder, illustrating an intricate grapevine just below bands of linear, dotted, and elegant tongue motifs. Size: 3.6" W x 6.1" H (9.1 cm x 15.5 cm)

Provenance: ex-T.F. Holy Lands collection, formed since the 1960s
