AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An unusual Roman miniature vase with an elegant, symmetric form and a striking greenish patina.

The vase is distinguished by its broad, vaulted belly, gracefully tapering neck, thick rounded opening, and characteristic foot. The rich shades of dark green, light green, and earthy tones give the object an authentic, historic appearance.

The surface shows a distinctive texture with natural signs of aging. The visible damages around the neck emphasize the fragile character of this small historical object.

A charming collectible that reflects the refined design of Roman antiquity.
