Lydion

A small spherical perfume container, lacking handles, it was especially popular in East Greece.

The vessel stood on a narrow, relatively high foot, cylindrical or conical in shape.

The neck could be of varying length; it met the body at an acute angle.

In Athens, it was only produced rarely; figural decoration was even rarer.
