078 - Vessel for decantation

SOMETIMES, due to their constant use, metal containers got rusty and ceramic containers gathered dirt at the bottom. Therefore, it became necessary to transfer fluids (oil or wine) in a new container. Decantation was done with the help of these vessels: they were basically dispensers with a properly shaped orifice, for decanting fluids from one container to another.
