neo classical urn? vase
« on: October 30, 2011, 11:32:49 AM »
I found this vase yesterday, unfortunately it's damaged but only cost me 0.20 pence! For academic interest I bought it and wonder if anyone can shed light on it's age and origin?

It stands about 130mm tall

The shape is a calyx krater - a classical greek vessel for wine.

Thank you Ivo. I didn't think urn was the right term.
