 Right outside the esotericstuff.com wall in Pompeii (Pompeii / Pompey) is a craftsman who replicates the famous Roman wine vessels that once lined the walls of shops in the destroyed city of Pompeii.  This craftsman handcrafts these miniature vessels that used to sit sideways on wood racks just before 79AD.  He has been handcrafting these most of his life out of the very clay that was used back then.  He is one of many generations who has created these vessels.  The metal stand is also made by members of his family.  Wood stand not included.
