#Restoration work going on in the house of the Vettii at #pompeii ... one of the most fascinating examples of Pompeian wall-painting ... it has been hypothesised that the mythological images in the center are lacking because painted on wood & destroyed during the eruption

Two glass bottles - same fabric, same type - from the cupboard we’re currently excavating in #pompeii give an idea what means serial production in pre-industrial times—small differences in size and shape that make the 2000-year-old vases only more beautiful & elegant❗️
