Item Details
Description
**Originally Listed At $200**
Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 4th century CE. A wonderful example of a redware plate, mold-made from ceramic and designed to be used at the table. The plate is striking in its simplicity, with a deep bowl and a wide, gently-sloping rim. It sits on a very low, flat foot with a slight ring bordering it. Roman redware items were made in vast factories, especially in the western part of the Empire, and shipped out far and wide. A plate like this could have graced an officer's table at Hadrian's Wall or been used in a villa in the Roman heartland of Italy. Size: 5.3" W x 1.9" H (13.5 cm x 4.8 cm)
Provenance: private Ventura County, California, USA collection
All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.
