Terracotta Megarian bowl ca. 150-100 B.C.

The wave ornament and zone of long petals on this bowl however, find parallels on vessels signed by Lapius, a contemporary of Popilius.

Jug 50 CE-250 CE Roman Empire. Initially affordable only among the wealthy, glass was used in ancient Rome as containers for oils, perfume, and tablewares. The variety of glass-making techniques reveals the changing tastes and fashions over the centuries. During the 1st century A.D., cast glass was a novel form that was a luxury for the Roman household, but by the end of the century, the innovation of blown glass allowed for less labor-intensive and less expensive production, which meant people of lesser means could afford it. Blown glass became so popular it nearly supplanted ceramic and even bronze wares in the home.. Glass, blown technique . Ancient Roman

Pair of vases. Culture: French, Limoges. Dimensions: Height (each): 9 3/4 in. (24.8 cm). Factory director: Under the technical direction of Ernest Chaplet (French, Sèvres 1835-1909 Choisy-le-Roi). Manufactory: Haviland & Co. (American and French, 1864-1931). Date: ca. 1884-86.Determined that pottery vessels should be regarded as true works of art, avant-garde ceramicists in France in the last decades of the nineteenth century transformed their craft into an intellectual and emotional endeavor. The pioneers of this revival were Jean Carriès, Ernest Chaplet, Théodore Deck, and Auguste Delaherche. These revolutionary artist-potters embraced artisanal traditions while pursuing lost techniques through exhaustive experimentation. Reacting to what they viewed as an excessive and improper use of ornament, they celebrated the simplicity and sincerity of their medium, following the tenets of the Art Nouveau style taking place in Europe.

Terracotta Megarian bowl ca. 150-75 B.C. Roman The decorative motifs on this unglazed, hemispherical bowl are hallmarks of the workshop of C. Popilius: a row of beads below which are zones of garlands and shields; grape clusters and leaves; garlands suspended from bucrania interspersed with theatrical masks; and finally, a frieze of small satyr heads. A bowl signed by Popilius in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston with similar decoration, contains an inscription indicating that it was made in central Italy, suggesting perhaps the bowl in this case was also manufactured in the same region..
