- Lot Description
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A rare example of a glazed ceramic vessel, mold-made, with a beautiful floral motif in high relief around its exterior body. The vessel form is similar to a skyphos, with a round body, a pronounced foot, and two small, loop handles. A thick olive green and deep navy-blue glaze covers much of the body, which has aged to have an interesting surface replete with fine craquelure. Size: 4.75" W x 2.6" H (12.1 cm x 6.6 cm)
Roman glazed vessels were technically difficult to produce, and as a result are quite rare - for example, they were only produced at two locations in Roman Britain, Holt and Caerleon. Most were made in Italy, central Gaul, and possibly modern-day Serbia and Romania. They were manufactured by dipping pottery items into a lead oxide "frit," a raw glaze suspended in water. When the vessel was fired, the lead oxide reacted with the silica in the clay, creating a color that ranged from yellow to green to dark brown.
For a similar example of the lead-glazed skyphos, please see The British Museum, museum number 1931,0514.1
Provenance: East Coast collection, New York Gallery, New York City, New York, USA, acquired before 2010 from Royal Athena Gallery, New York, New York, USA
