Late Period-Ptolemaic Period Faience cups of this type are frequent in the Late Period. A recent study of faience vessels notes that examples were found in the western dump at the Sacred Animal Necropolis at Saqqara, where datable documents belong to the 5th-4th centuries B.C. The cups vary in size; examples are known that were inscribed and found in sets of 7 for the 7 sacred oils. The type may have continued to be produced during the Graeco-Roman period, but the quality of the glaze here - very thick and most often with craquelure in a regular manner - is considered characteristic of the Late Period..

New Kingdom This Egyptian alabaster cosmetic jar was found with two others inside the coffin of a scribe named Amenemhat. They had been placed near the head of the mummy. This jar is well made from fine-grained white stone, but the lid is too small for the jar and may be a replacement. It contained a brown, crusty residue that may originally have been an unguent or salve.Amenemhat was the son of a man named Neferkhawet, and his burial was found in the family tomb in Western Thebes..

Date: ca. 150-100 B.C..The relief patterns decorating this bowl are often found on wares produced by some of the more well attested makers of hemispherical plain fired pottery. Shields, for example, were a motif particularly favored by C. Popilius, as seen on the bowl in this case that bears his signature (96.18.79). The wave ornament and zone of long petals on this bowl however, find parallels on vessels signed by Lapius, a contemporary of Popilius. This unsigned bowl was probably made by a potter associated with both of these workshops. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Glass ribbed bowl 1st century B.C.

(7.9 x 13.34 cm), Raku ware; glazed stoneware, Japan, Raku, Raku tea bowls were first created by Chōjirō (d.1589), a maker of earthenware tiles, under the direction of the great tea master Sen no Rikyū (1522-1591). The light clay, thick black or red glaze, and hand-built forms combined to suggest the simplicity and rustic quality desired by Rikyū. The slightly exaggerated surface treatment of this bowl, as well as the roughly incised image of a fisherman trolling his boat, suggests that it was created later in the Edo period when tea enthusiasts and potters began to venture beyond the conservative and somber wabi aesthetic preferred by Rikyū.Bowl: Jun ware, 14th-15th Century.

Celadons, spoons, seals, and bronze mirrors were the most common burial objects in tombs during the Goryeo period (918-1392). Once used to contain colored powder, rouge, and eyebrow gel for makeup, this small container was one of the standard goods that furnished elites' tombs. Both women and men used the grain powder of rice or millet for whitening their skin, safflower extract for rouge, and plant ash or soot for eyebrow gel. Yet, natural-looking makeup seems to have been the most favorable one in Korea according to the travelogue by Xu Jing (1091-1153), the Chinese diplomat who visited Korea in 1123.Bowl ca. 1780-1580 B.C.

Simple monochromatic vessels like this, based on clay Indian prototypes, symbolized the monks' vow of poverty. Of perfectly rounded form, with sides rising from a round base and curving inward to a wide rimless mouth, this bowl is the epitomy of refined elegance and Song taste.
