OK, I confess. I did actually take this picture with the title words resounding on my lips at the time. I grew up with Eric and Ernie and their humour.
In all honesty, I can’t remember much about this urn, beyond that it’s over two thousand years old and is Greek. I do remember that I was blown away by the sheer size. Others like this one were used as coffins, but I am not sure if this one was; I struggle to imagine the funeral procession lugging along something that looks like it’s intended for the wake afterwards!
Anyway, it was really rather magnificent.

Just imagine the size of the kiln. Even if they would have fired one singularly!
I thought you’d like this one…and you are the first ever to comment on it!! I get search terms bring folks here but it’s clearly never been what they were actually hoping to find.
cheers!!
