EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a close-up of the ancient Greek artifact known as the Feeding Bottle (Thelasterion). Made from terracotta with a striking black glaze, this small yet significant piece stands at 7.6 cm tall. Currently housed in the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, USA, it is part of their esteemed collection. The Feeding Bottle showcases exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail. Its squat shape and delicate handle evoke images of everyday life in ancient Greece. The smooth glaze adds an air of elegance to this humble household item.

This practical innovation demonstrates the ingenuity of ancient Greek artisans who sought ways to enhance daily activities. Having survived through centuries, this artifact offers us a glimpse into the lives and customs of our ancestors. It serves as a tangible link between past and present civilizations, reminding us that even mundane objects can hold great historical significance.
