Terracotta neck-amphora (storage jar). Culture: Greek, Corinthian. Dimensions: H.: 11 1/2 in. (29.2 cm). Date: ca. 620-590 B.C..Corinthian potters and painters invented a technique of silhouetted forms that would evolve into the black figures of Athenian vase painting. Typically, their vessels, like this neck amphora, are decorated with tapestry-like patterns of small animals and plant motifs. A variety of animals- bulls, lions, birds and goats march around the belly of this vase, and multiple rosettes fill the background. Above the queue of exquisite animals is a padded dancer, who stands between two lions. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

Spherical body urn with cover (one of a pair) ca. 1770-1820 possibly Italian The timeless’ Neo-Classical design of this fine pair of spherical Imperial porphyry urns makes their dating particularly difficult. They are likely to have been produced between 1770 and 1820 and could have been acquired by a grand tourist to Italy around that time. While earlier, more elaborately designed urns gave the carver the opportunity to display their artistic virtuosity, this plainer example puts the emphasis on the mesmerizing color of the porphyry stone. This particular example shows variations of light pink and black speckles.. Spherical body urn with cover (one of a pair). possibly Italian. ca. 1770-1820. Imperial red porphyry, gilt bronze.

Cocoon-shaped Jar, 3rd-early 2nd century BCE, 12 1/8 x 13 1/4 x 8 1/2in. (30.8 x 33.7 x 21.6cm), Earthenware with traces of pigment, China, 3rd-2nd century BCE, Silk production, from the rearing of silkworms to weaving silk cloth, was an important source of income to Chinese farming families.

The colors used were red, brown, green, yellow, black, white, orange, and blue. Jars like this may have been used in the ritual practices of sericulture as the rearing of silkworms was fraught with superstitions during the Han period.
