Item Details
Description
Roman, probably produced in North Africa, ca. 3rd century CE. This is a large redware slip platter with a stamped leaf design around the center of the interior and no foot. This is an example of Roman "fine ware", the term used by archaeologists to serve food and drink at the table. This style with the stamped designs is classic of North African redware, which was exported throughout the Roman Empire -- there are even examples from the Roman Fort of Gellygaer in Glamorgan, Wales. Size: 11.4" W x 1.75" H (29 cm x 4.4 cm).

Provenance: Ex- Private New Jersey collection acquired before 1990
