Roman glazed ceramic skyphos pot

"Roman skyphos vessel in green glazed ceramic, 1st century BC - 1st AD". A skyphos is a deep wine cup with two handles and a low, wide base, or no base at all. The handles are small and horizontal, projecting from the edge, or in the form of a loop that sits on the edge or protrudes from the base. There is a type of this glass called glaux (owl) that has a horizontal handle and the other vertical. They were also made with precious metals. This type of glazed pieces are especially laborious since the glaze had to be applied to them and proceed to a second firing to fix it. We find a decoration based on Bacchic motifs and heads of Silenus. This piece is unique since it masterfully preserves both the exterior and interior color, allowing us to appreciate it just as the ancient Romans would have enjoyed it.

Very good condition.

Provenance: European collection prior to 1980. 14x8cm
