  Globular aryballos (a form of pottery used to contain oils and perfumes). Greece, Corinth, 7th century BC. This was made in the heyday of the miniaturist style of proto-Corinthian vessels.

“These perfume vessels offer a narrow neck and a wide lip which could be used to spread the fragrant oils on the skin. They are typical of Corinthian ceramics” (Spiteris:1965).
