Title	Vessel made in the tradition of pre-Islamic Iran
Description	6 x 9.5 x 6' ; pottery; Iranian ceramics in its pre-Islamic phases, are characterized by elegant rounded shapes, often with narrow mouths and long spouts. The remarkable number of vessels with extremely long spouts suggest that the ceremonial pouring of liquids was a major concern of ancient Iranian culture. This vessel would have been filled through the mouth in the bottom. When turned upright, the liquid would remain inside without a plug in the base. This vessel would resemble one used for a non-ceremonial purpose, since it was not decorated in any way. This vessel was made as a demontration model for a teachers workshop during the exhibition of 'Wit and Wine: A new look at ancient Iranian Ceramics,' an exhibition at Krannert art Museum, July - Dec 2000 from the Arthur M. Sackler Foundation.
