These bowls, used for a variety of purposes including serving food, mixing ingredients, and holding liquids, were made from a range of materials such as clay, glass, and metal. The most common material was pottery, which was readily available and versatile. Roman pottery bowls were typically crafted using a wheel and then fired in a kiln, resulting in durable and functional pieces that were used in both everyday and ceremonial contexts.One of the most notable types of Roman pottery bowls is the Terra Sigillata, also known as Samian ware, which was produced primarily in Gaul (modern-day France) and Italy. These bowls are distinguished by their smooth, glossy red slip and fine, detailed decorations, which often included motifs of mythology, animals, and everyday life scenes. Terra Sigillata bowls were highly prized for their aesthetic qualities and were widely traded throughout the Roman Empire, indicating their popularity and the high regard in which they were held. The production of these bowls involved sophisticated techniques, including the use of molds to create intricate designs, showcasing the advanced level of Roman ceramic craftsmanship.Roman glass bowls, another significant category, illustrate the technological advancements and artistic innovations of the time. Glass blowing, which became widespread during the Roman period, allowed for the creation of delicate and finely crafted glass bowls. These items were often decorated with vibrant colors and intricate patterns achieved through techniques such as millefiori (a mosaic-like pattern) and cameo glass (where layers of glass are carved to create images in relief). Glass bowls were luxury items and were often used in elite households for special occasions, reflecting the wealth and status of their owners.

ITEM: Oil lampMATERIAL: PotteryCULTURE: IslamicPERIOD: 11th - 13th Century A.DDIMENSIONS: 60 mm x 56 mm x 103 mmCONDITION: Good conditionPROVENANCE: Ex French private collection, acquired before 1990sComes with Certificate of Authenticity and Export Licence. If you are from outside the European Union, we will have to apply for the export licence again for your country, this takes 3 to 5 weeks and has a cost of 5% of the hammer price, this amount will be added to the final invoice.Islamic oil lamps from the 11th to 13th centuries reflect both the practical needs and the artistic achievements of the medieval Islamic world. These lamps were primarily crafted from materials such as brass, bronze, and glazed ceramics, each with distinct regional styles. Metal lamps were particularly popular due to their durability and ability to withstand high temperatures, while ceramic lamps offered an affordable and widely accessible alternative. The basic form of these lamps consisted of a rounded body with a central reservoir for oil and an extended spout for holding the wick, but many variations existed depending on region and purpose. The lamps were commonly used in mosques, homes, and public spaces, illuminating interiors and enhancing night-time activities with a warm, consistent glow.Islamic oil lamps from this period were often decorated with intricate patterns and inscriptions, reflecting the flourishing of Islamic art and the integration of spirituality into daily objects. Geometric designs, arabesques, and calligraphy were popular motifs, often inspired by Islamic religious themes and the principles of aniconism, which discouraged the use of human or animal figures in religious art. Calligraphic inscriptions, typically featuring verses from the Quran, invocations, or blessings, were especially prevalent, emphasizing the connection between the object and spiritual life. These lamps were not just functional but also carried a symbolic and religious meaning, with the light they produced symbolizing divine guidance and spiritual illumination in Islamic thought.

ITEM: KantharosMATERIAL: Pottery, Bucchero-wareCULTURE: EtruscanPERIOD: 6th Century B.CDIMENSIONS: 113 mm x 154 mm x 105 mmCONDITION: Good condition, repairedPROVENANCE: Ex Austrian private collection, acquired between 1960 - 1990Comes with Certificate of Authenticity and Export Licence. If you are from outside the European Union, we will have to apply for the export licence again for your country, this takes 3 to 5 weeks and has a cost of 5% of the hammer price, this amount will be added to the final invoice.The Etruscan kantharos was a distinctive type of drinking cup that held both practical and symbolic significance in Etruscan culture. Characterized by its tall, narrow body and two high looped handles, the kantharos was typically made from ceramic, bronze, or, in rarer instances, precious metals. This vessel form, which was also common in Greek pottery, was designed for drinking wine and was likely used in both everyday settings and formal banquets or ritual gatherings. The presence of kantharoi in Etruscan tombs suggests that they were seen as essential items for the afterlife, perhaps due to their association with social rituals and feasting. Often elaborately decorated with geometric patterns, mythological scenes, or figures from Etruscan religion, these vessels reflected the Etruscans' appreciation for artistic detail and skilled craftsmanship.In addition to their role in dining and socializing, kantharoi held symbolic associations with Dionysus (Bacchus in Roman mythology), the god of wine, ecstasy, and fertility. In Etruscan culture, which borrowed and adapted many elements from Greek religious beliefs, the kantharos likely carried connotations of divine pleasure, transformation, and the connection between mortals and the gods. The Etruscans viewed wine as a sacred drink with the power to transcend the everyday and bring participants closer to the divine realm. Consequently, the kantharos became more than just a drinking vessel; it embodied the concept of wine as a bridge to spiritual experience. This symbolism can be seen in Etruscan artwork, where figures are often shown holding or drinking from kantharoi in what appear to be ritualistic or celebratory contexts.Kantharoi discovered in Etruscan tombs and archaeological sites offer valuable insights into Etruscan social customs, artistic techniques, and cultural exchanges with the Greek world. Many Etruscan kantharoi display Greek-inspired iconography, revealing the influence of Greek artisanship and mythology on Etruscan pottery.
