Circa 200-300 ADA large terracotta storage amphora with large bulbous shaped body and tapering neck, two finely moulded ribs to the centre, the rim everted with two looped identical handles with stylised nodules. Most likely from the region surrounding the Holy Lands. Excellent and large example of pottery. Supplied with a display stand.Pottery was manufactured in large quantities in ancient Rome, mostly for utilitarian purposes. It is found all over the former Roman Empire and beyond. The site of Monte Testaccio is a large waste mound in Rome made almost entirely of broken amphorae used for transporting and storing liquids and other products. It was common to divide Roman domestic pottery broadly into coarse wares and fine wares, the former being the everyday pottery jars, dishes and bowls that were used for cooking or the storage and transport of foods and other goods, and in some cases also as tableware, and which were often made and bought locally. Fine wares were serving vessels or tableware used for more formal dining, and are usually of more decorative and elegant appearance.For references to Roman pottery see:Hayes, John W. 1972.

Circa 200-400 ADA finely modelled group of seven terra sigilata red slip pottery plates and bowls in an excellent state of preservation. All fine condition. Intact. Without restoration. These were utilitarian objects used within the household. The material used for modelling this vase was terra sigillata, which was a distinctive Roman pottery material with a glossy red color, often adorned with seals. The meaning of 'terra sigillata' is 'clay bearing little images' (Latin sigilla). We find these pieces from the 1st Century BC to the 3rd Century AD approximately. Although in Greece some speciments with these characteristics existed, the beginning of their history is in Tuscany (Italy), specifically in Arezzo, where potters adopted this style and developed it with the use of relief decoration. Those produced in Italica were protected by an ant adherent red glaze. Later pieces were of greater quality, of a finer and harder clay, and were darker with an ochre or earth-coloured glaze.For further reading see: Hayes, John W. 1972. Late Roman Pottery.
