The functional simplicity of this vessel lends it a timeless elegance that appeals to contemporary tastes as much as it did to ancient ones. Even after the passage of millennia, the design of such a pot could hardly be improved upon. What did it once contain, we wonder, and who poured from its spout and drank? Did those ancient people stop, as we do, to admire the grace of the vessel as they held it in their hands? We feel in its presence a direct bond with those long- forgotten individuals. - (PF.3335)Amlash Terracotta Teapot - PF.3335Origin: Central Asia Circa: 1200 BC to 900 BCDimensions: 6" (15.2cm) high x 7.25" (18.4cm) wide Collection: Near Eastern
