<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pat P, post: 89609, member: 201&quot;]I would call it an &quot;ancient vessel&quot; but I suspect it would be a rare buyer who would search for the word vessel. I might use it in the description, but I think it would be kind of useless as a keyword in the title.</p><p><br /></p><p>I feel like a total dope... I remembered the discussion on the eBay board from a few years ago, but totally forgot that just this past June I asked about the composition of this piece in Antiquers. I just found the Antiquers thread... via Google. Duh!</p><p><br /></p><p>I apologize, especially to the members who replied to my query both times!</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the keywords, after thinking about it more, I&#039;ll just use &quot;beaker,&quot; too. I imagine this was handled at Christie&#039;s by someone who knew the correct terminology, plus they referred to two other originals that apparently were also called &quot;beakers&quot; by the institutions that have them in their collections. I think I can feel safe in trusting their collective judgment.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the help to everyone who posted... both times! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
