Description
“Eastern Thin Walled Ware“ is for now a broad classification for a distinct variety of cups, mugs, skyphoi, beakers, and kantharoi or chalices. It does not designate a unified production but rather a popular format or style of drinking vessels that developed in the Aegean region during the Early to Middle Roman periods, influenced significantly by Italian imports. The most widely distributed form was the globular, collared cup (“Aegean“); another widespread form was the mug with bell-shaped rim (“Phocaean“); both were variously imitated in Greek manufacturing centers, including Athens and Corinth. Workshops in the cities of the eastern Aegean/western Asia Minor sphere, such as Knidos, also produced their own thin-walled products that display varying degrees of formal innovation and adaptation.
