- Lot Description
Roman, North African, 3rd to 4th centuries CE. A charming, mold-made terra sigillata bowl and dish with a characteristically rich red finish featuring a minimalist decoration adorning their tondos. The dish is made with a flat-bottom and features a broad, shallow basin surrounded by a sloped, flared rim, and wheel-cut striations along its center. The bowl has a thick double-lipped rim along its exterior, a modest relief with a light tondo, and nice earthen deposits scattered across its surface. North Africa was one of Rome's wealthiest provinces. This type of pottery is also known as African Terra Sigillata or Samian ware, referring to the method used to seal the red slip onto the pottery during the kilning process. These objects were mold made and traded far and wide. Size of dish: 7.5" Diameter (19 cm) Size of bowl: 6.25" Diameter x 2" H (15.9 cm x 5.1 cm)
Terra sigillata is a fine type of Roman ceramic coveted for its smooth red slipped finish and intriguing relief decoration. According to the Walters Museum, "The vessel and decorations were formed in a mold and were sometimes embellished with stamps, roller-dies, appliques, barbotine, and incision. This type of pottery originally emerged around 40 BCE in Arretium (modern Arezzo) in central Italy and had an enormous influence across the Empire, especially in North Africa were the method was further developed and altered."
