Tales of Ancient Pottery. 



One of the most noted pieces of ancient 

 pottery Is the Portland Vase or sepulchral 

 urn. It was discovered in the 17th century 

 in a tomb three miles from Rome. The 

 colors are a deep dark blue, almost black 

 ground, on which the designs were cut from 

 a layer of opaque white glaze in cameo style. 

 The subject represented never has been satis- 

 factorily determined. The vase is thus de- 

 scribed at a sale in 1786: "The most cele- 

 brated antique vase or sepulchral urn; from 

 the Barberini cabinet at Rome. It is the 

 identical urn which contained the ashes of 

 the Roman Emperor Alexander Severus and 

 bis mother Mammaea, which was deposited in 

 the earth 235 years after Christ and was dug 

 up by order of Pope Urban 

 VIII between 1623 and 

 1644 A. D. 



"The materials of its 

 composition emulate onyx, 

 the grounds a rich dark 

 amethystine color, and the 

 snowy figures which adorn 

 It are in bas-relief of work- 

 manship above all enco- 

 mium, and such as cannot 

 but excite In us the highest 

 Idea of the arts of the an- 

 cients. Its dimensions are 

 9% inches high and 21% inches in circum- 

 ference. It is valued at more than a thou- 

 sand pounds. Beautiful and perfectly satis- 

 factory copies of this vase were made by 

 Josiah Wedgewood in 1781, one of which sold 

 in 1872 for 180 pounds. 



"The original has had a remarkable his- 

 tory; while on deposit in the British Museum 

 in the year 1845 a young student, who was 

 one of the visitors, while in a delirious con- 

 dition hurled a stone which broke the vase 

 into fragments. It was placed in the hands 

 of a restorer and the fragments united with 

 such skill that the damage was almost im- 

 perceptible. This gem of ancient art may be 

 seen in the gold room of the British Museum."
