and which are for sale




These vessels were probably made in the eastern Roman Empire and in Italy in the middle of the 1st century AD. Many examples in museums in the USA are only 6-8cm in height, but taller vessels (about 10-12cm) are known.

Body colours are usually dark blue, purple or amber, with the white trail worked flush to the body and drawn upwards towards the rim with a metal hook or blade before the vessel is blown.
