- Lot Description
Rome, Imperial, ca. 1st to 4th century CE. A wonderful group of six mold-made pottery oil lamps, all displaying flat, annular bases and wick spouts. Coated in black glaze, the first vessel presents a loop handle, a petite circular fill hole, a projecting spout with an elongated neck, and a rounded shoulder adorned with a lovely abstract relief. The remaining five vessels are all redware and exhibit discoid forms. One boasts a giant fill hole and three spouts. Another lamp has a rounded shoulder and a tiered base. A third redware vessel displays a large fill hole with a flared rim. The final pair of ancient examples showcases similar forms with round shoulders bearing an abstract motif, loop handles, petite fill holes, and recessed central tondos with differing designs; one has a relief of an ox or bull and the other shows the image of a bird. Size of largest: 3.75" L x 3.125" W x 1.5" H (9.5 cm x 7.9 cm x 3.8 cm)
Provenance: private Virginia, USA collection, gifted to the owner in Turkey between 1965 to 1969
