Ca. 800-1000 AD. A late Roman, early Byzantine glazed ceramic grenade, also referred to as "Greek Fire". This hollow ceramic vessel is globular in shape, a piriform body, with a short neck and a domed rim. The body is decorated with a centre band of cylidrical circles, with panels of linear lines between. Above this, a panel of motifs in the shapes of crosses, below a panel of diamonds with dots in between. "Greek Fire” was intended to be filled with explosive liquid and a wick and used as a hand grenade. Typically, it was used in naval battles as it could continue burning while floating on the water. This piece has been precisely dated by means of a Thermo Luminescence analysis carried out by Ralf Kotalla, an independent German Laboratory. The samples collected date the piece to the period reflected in its style, whilst also showing no modern trace elements. The TL certificate with its full report will accompany this lot. For similar grenades see: Arendt, W. I., Granaten des 13-14. Jahrhunderts, die an der Wolga gefunden sind, Zeitschrift fur Historische Waffen-und Kostumkunde, 11 (1926-8), p.42; Cf.

Lot 421
Ca. 900-1200 AD. A "Greek Fire" hand grenade comprising a cream ceramic vessel with a spheroconical body, and a short, squat neck with a sloped rim. This hollow vessel is decorated with two registers of stamped dot-and-circle motif above and below a central register of incised diagonal lines. Globular vessels such as this example are frequently interpreted as an early type of hand grenade. It is believed that these jars could have contained an incendiary agent such as the infamous "Greek fire" which was impervious to water, making them invaluable weapons in naval battles. Unfortunately, the recipe for "Greek fire" was lost with the fall of the Byzantine empire, but it was likely a petroleum-based mixture. This item comes with a custom-made display stand.Size: L:130mm / W:80mm ; 535gProvenance: Private UK collection; From an old British collection formed in the 1990s
