<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rastella, post: 331685, member: 6722&quot;]You are right!&nbsp; It did not have a lid.&nbsp; In fact, if it did have evidence of a lid or no lip for grasping, it would not be an albarello container by definition.&nbsp; (If you look up antique or primitive albarello jar, there are lots of examples.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure some later ones did have lids).&nbsp; Quickly quoting Wikipedia although there are other sources as well, &quot;.... The jars were generally sealed with a piece of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parchment" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parchment" rel="nofollow">parchment</a> or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leather" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leather" rel="nofollow">leather</a> tied with a piece of cord.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, as I said in my original post, the jar is actually dark green.&nbsp; So dark that I would not have been able to capture the graffito design, so I intentionally used a flash.&nbsp; Therefore, I can see why you&#039;d think it was a bright green vase.&nbsp; But it is not.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
