This very choice salt dish comes from Apulia, a region of Greek colonies in Southern Italy that are widely known for pottery production. This blackware dish was used for serving salt with meals. Salt was the only spice that even approached common availability in the ancient world and was widely used. Dinner guests would simply take a pinch of salt from this open vessel and season to their tastes.
AGE: 400-350 B.C. CONDITION: Excellent. No breaks or repairs and of a very fine form. DIMENSIONS: About 3" wide and 2" tall. |
