Garum
#26
Unfortunately, I do not have information as to where the original was found. But I think that in Spain, (I assume that's where you folks are???)and in Europe in general, it would be far easier to find a potter that could reproduce the form than it would be here. I own a couple of Spanish maiolica plates which are just beautiful. From what I have seen, Spanish pottery is not much different than Italian in that most pieces are made from terra cotta. And terra cotta is what the ancients used to create their wares.
Also, classical history in Europe (at least in Italy)is much more studied and thus more generally known than here in the US, so a potter would be more open to creating an ancient form, I think.
Here in the States-at least on the East coast, where I am, hardly anybody works with terra cotta unless they are doing those really ugly slip-molded pieces-(at least to my knowledge.) What one mostly finds here is stoneware.
Glad that you liked the pieces Big Grin
