The contents of the jars indicated that they had once held various liquids. Three of the jars (including 36.3.161. 36.3.164) are decorated with geometric patterns in red and black paint. One of the undecorated jars (36.3.162) still has its closure of linen cloth that covers the mouth and has been tied in a square knot around the neck..

This amphoriskos is also unusual in that the handles match the trail decoration, not the color of the vessel itself. Marbled glass perfume bottle early to mid-1st century A.D.

Cycladic The kernos, the jar, and the jug were found together in 1829 on Melos by the British naval captain Richard Copeland, whose widow gave them to Eton College in 1857. Of the three, the kernos is the most intriguing and complex. Although kernoi were used in widely disparate regions during the prehistoric period, particularly impressive examples have come to light in the Cyclades, and this is one of the largest, most elaborate and elegant kernoi to have survived. The twenty-five flask-like containers around the central bowl were probably used to hold offerings of seeds, grain, flowers, fruit, or liquids. The painted decoration of the jar is similar to that of the kernos, with rows of alternating narrow and broad chevrons and designs in dark glaze over a white slip. The jug is more extensively decorated with comparable motifs. All three vessels represent Cycladic pottery at its most precise and accomplished, and presumably they came from the same toJar 12th-13th century. Jar. 12th-13th century.

China This elaborate set of wine vessels provides an idea of the splendor of Shang and early Zhou ritual ceremonies. The set is said to have come from a tomb uncovered in 1901; shortly thereafter, it entered the collection of Duan Fang, a senior Manchu official and one of the preeminent antiquarians of the late Qing period. The pieces vary in style and execution. Although eleven of the vessels are inscribed, only one grouping shares identical inscriptions: the two wine containers, or you (nos. 2, 3) and the tall wine container, or zun (no. 4). A second grouping has largely comparable inscriptions: the spouted water vessel, or he (no. 5) and one cup, or zhi (no. 11).A partial reconstruction of the sets arrangement in the tomb may be established from corrosion outlines on the three principal vessels—the two wine containers, or you, and the central tall wine container, or zun—that were etched onto the surface of the altar table.

Iron-brown ornamentation was primarily implemented in the Gongju Hakbong-ri kilns in South Chungcheong Province, of which the Mets jar with floral scroll (2006.241) is a good example. Differing from that jar with the partially covered slip on a dark clay body, this bottle has a finer, white clay body that is almost entirely covered in slip. The flowering plant is represented in a whimsical manner with confident brushwork. These qualities indicate that this bottle was produced at the Goheung Undae-ri kilns in South Jeolla Province, a region that predominately produced incised and sgraffito buncheong wares (1986.305 and 16.122.1). There are only two other known examples of intact bottles with this design and they are in Japanese and Korean museum collections..
