- Description
- Middle-Late Roman production in Attica of various open and closed forms: plates, bowls, mugs, jugs, pitchers, a dish with projecting handle bearing zoomorphic finial, miniatures. One popular form was a wide bowl with a flaring body, a keel rim with rounded lip, and a ribbon handle, often in a coarse clay with a dark reddish slip and white-painted decoration, particularly spiral scrolls. Thick, gritty clay with a darker slip, of variable color and quality and overall roughly finished, and simple decoration painted in white, including straight, wavy, and spiraling lines and floral patterns. Regional distribution with an important market in the Corinthia.
