Traditionally, lachrymatories were believed to hold the tears of mourners during the funeral rites of an important person . The vessel was then buried with the deceased as a symbolic gesture ensuring their peaceful passage into eternal life—proof that they were loved and mourned on earth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;\"\u003eThe vase’s shaded, weathered appearance is the result of ancient glass-making challenges, when artisans struggled to heat sand evenly nearly 2,000 years ago.
