Summary/Abstract: The beauty and expressiveness of oriental vessel is one of the major points to be taken into account during the restoration – it involves meticulous manual labor. It is not difficult to recover the original vessel's shape, yet there is some fine artistic touch required when restoring the ornamental details.The discovered vessel is to be dated around the 15th century, although after consulting trustworthy sources, there is a possibility to refer them to a later time frame, the reason beyond this being the fact that the same oriental decorations have been used in later centuries as well (18th).
