Roman Lucerne, 2nd-3rd century AD.Terracotta.Provenance: private collection, Bordeaux.In good state of preservation.Measurements: 8.5 cm.The word 'lucerna' comes from the Greek 'lukno'.

The earliest skylights were made by hand, then on a lathe, and from the 3rd century BC onwards by moulding. The mould consisted of two dies, one for the upper part and one for the lower part. The mould-making technique consisted of pressing the clay into the moulds and then joining the two parts together.

Amphora; Greece, 4th century BC.Red-figure pottery.Provenance: Private Spanish collection.Thermoluminescence test attached.Measurements: 41 x 18 cm (diameter).Amphora decorated with the red-figure technique in which a complex ornamental pattern is represented. The base area is delimited with a fretwork showing a swell which leads to the body of the piece, where almost all of the ornamentation can be seen. In this scene the painter creates two figurative scenes, delimited on their flanks by large palmettes. In one of the images, two robed men can be seen, separated by a small altar between them. One of the protagonists holds up a laurel wreath, while the gesture adopted by the other seems to indicate that he will receive the crown. On the back of the vessel the scene changes to a standing, naked man standing before a seated woman holding an ornate wreath in one of her hands. The area between the belly and the neck of the vessel is delimited by a fretwork in which a triga is arranged, and this gives way to a long neck in which the profile of a lady known as a "beauty lady" can be seen, while the other area shows a mythological animal with the torso of a woman and the lower body of a bird, known as Lamia. Red-figure pottery was one of the most important figurative styles of Greek ceramics. It was developed in Athens around 530 BC, and was used until the 3rd century BC. It replaced the previous predominant style of black-figured pottery within a few decades. The technical basis was the same in both cases, but in the red figures the colouring is inverted, with the figures highlighted against a dark background, as if illuminated by a theatrical light, following a more natural scheme. Painters working with black figures were forced to keep the motifs well separated from each other and to limit the complexity of the illustration. The red-figure technique, on the other hand, allowed greater freedom. Each figure was silhouetted against a black background, allowing the painters to portray anatomical details with greater accuracy and variety, and the technique consisted of painting the motifs on the still-wet piece, using a transparent varnish which, when fired, took on an intense black hue. The motifs were therefore invisible before firing, which meant that the painters had to work entirely from memory, without being able to see their previous work. Once the piece was fired, the unglazed areas remained with the reddish hue of the clay, while the glazed, "painted" areas took on a dense, glossy black colour.

John Henning, Scottish, 1777-1851, a plaster portrait relief of Sir Walter Scott, 1st Baronet (1771-1832), inscribed WALTER SCOTT, HENNING FT 1808, on a light blue ground, in a circular ebonised frame with gilt slip, the portrait - 6cm high, the frame 16cm diameter Note: Sir Walter Scott was considered one of the great men of the era. He initially trained as a lawyer in Edinburgh but gained an internationally celebrated reputation as an epic poet with The Lay of the Last Minstrel 1805, and The Lady of the Lake, 1810. He established his profile as a novelist in his first novel Waverley, 1814. Scott, along with the Duke of Wellington, was one of the most famous individuals portrayed of the period. The son of a Paisley carpenter, John Henning initially modelled profiles in wax and then began to produce portrait medallions. During his years in Glasgow his sitters included James Watt. He moved to Edinburgh in 1803 and studied at the Trustees’ Academy. In 1811 he went to London where he spent twelve years drawing the Parthenon friezes. With the help of his son, Henning later made large plaster replicas of the friezes to decorate important London buildings to mark the British victories at Trafalgar and Waterloo. He also made small plaster copies of the Raphael cartoons. Please refer to department for condition report
