Description from the seller
Very beautiful Roman North African terracotta jug, ceramic, complete
North Africa. 1st, 3rd century AD.

Eastern sigillata production developed from the 1st century BC and, replacing Italian imports, became very abundant in the 2nd and 3rd centuries.
H: 22 cm Diameter: 12 cm
Condition: Good overall condition, slight chipping at the neck, see photos, and calcium deposits.
Provenance France, private collection acquired from a gallery/antique dealer. Previously part of an old French collection of Roman ceramics, private collection.
