The two figures painted on this vase gaze towards each other cradling each other’s faces against a backdrop of waves. The inscription reads “And yet I wish but for the thing I have, my bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep. The more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite.” Juliet declares this in 'Romeo and Juliet', and in this case the figure on the vase is declaring it to herself, a promise of self love.
