Late Helladic III. VasesBlack-Figure Neck-Amphora (Storage Vessel): Animal Friezes, c. 600-580 BC. Attributed to St. Louis Painter (Etruscan, active at Vulci, c. 600-580 BC). Ceramic; overall: 63.2 cm (24 7/8 in.). Although seemingly simple in design, this amphora populated with animals (some mythological) and vegetal ornaments speaks to complex cultural intermingling in the ancient world. Known as Etrusco-Corinthian,” the vase was made in Vulci, an Etruscan site with local workshops influenced by the Greek pottery imported there. These imports, especially from the ancient city of Corinth, helped to bring certain motifs and creatures borrowed from the Near East—such as the griffins here—to the Italian peninsula. Among several lively Etruscan elements on this vase are flowering rosettes, including one about to be eaten by a stag foraging in the upper band.Terracotta amphora (jar) 1050-950 B.C.

(37.15 x 40.01 cm), Banshan type Earthenware with painted spiral decor, China, 25th-24th century BCE, The striking visual similarites between Neolithic Pan-Shan and Ancient Pueblo jars is remarkable. Both cultures have taken a globular earthenware vessel designed for storage of water or food and highly decorated them with pigmented slips. Each has central medallions carefully spaced around the surface. Intricate linear designs have been added leading the eye in a circular swirling path around the jars. The high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail in the painted patterns indicates that these were highly treasured possessions. Examples from both cultures have been found in burial sites. Time and geography have prevented either culture from influencing the other making the similarites even more intriguing.Terracotta jug ca. 2500-1900 B.C.

Initially affordable only among the wealthy, glass was used in ancient Rome to create tableware and containers for oils and perfume. The variety of glass-making techniques reveals the changing tastes and fashions over the centuries. During the 1st century, cast glass was a novel form and a luxury for Roman households. By the end of the century, however, innovations in technique allowed for cheaper and less labor-intensive production, making it affordable to people of lesser means. Blown glass nearly supplanted ceramic and even bronze wares in popularity. This prestige carried well into the Byzantine period.. Glass, blown technique . Ancient MediterraneanPot 4th-7th century Coptic. Pot 476284Terracotta column-krater (bowl for mixing wine and water). Culture: Etruscan. Dimensions: H. 16 1/8 in. (41 cm); diameter of mouth 13 9/16 in. (34.5 cm). Date: ca. 560-500 B.C..Large column-kraters with decorative straps bridging the gap between shoulder and rim are typical of bucchero workshops in the Vulci area during the sixth century B.C. This bucchero pesante (heavy bucchero) example is unusual in that it has six straps, rather than the normal two, and the largest are decorated with striding lions, not human masks. A truncated warrior, equipped with crested helmet, armor or cloak, and two large spears, appears on the four smaller straps. The shape is ultimately derived from Corinthian metallic and ceramic models. When they have human masks, the straps may derive from a type of Corinthian pyxis (cosmetics jar). Thus, the Etruscan potter, although inspired by Greek models, has created an entirely new hybrid. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Wine Vessel. Culture: China.
