Description
A major production of red-slipped pottery that was popular across the Eastern Mediterranean during the 5th to 6th centuries, when it shared the market with African Red-Slip Ware, though manufacture began earlier and continued into the late 7th century. Workshops concentrated around Phocaea but also at other centers in western Asia Minor, such near Pergamon. Fine, hard fabric, evenly fired (apart from outer rim), with a thin, orangish red to reddish brown or purplish slip. Limited range of bowls and dishes with small ring bases that vary chiefly in the rim shape. Rouletting and a wide repertory of stamped motifs are common especially on larger vessels.
