Descripción
Hellenistic pottery, usually vessels such as cups, bowls, or lamp feeders, decorated with distinctive relief designs. The ware originated in Cales, Caserta, Italy. It is characterized by reliefs that imitate metal work, often taken from molds that copied contemporary Hellenistic and earlier prototypes. In other cases reliefs are appliqué work that has been applied to black-glazed vases of various shapes.
