This Skyphos is a faithful homage to Roman silverwork from the late 1st century B.C.–early 1st century A.D., modeled after Gandharan examples once used in elite symposia.

Set it on a walnut sideboard or in a glass vitrine and let a warm, angled spotlight skim the relief; the vines and figures snap into depth and the whole room reads as intentionally curated, not merely decorated. It’s the kind of object that quietly signals you know your classical forms, rewards close looking, and turns an evening drink or a study shelf into a small private ceremony of taste.
