Roman, Eastern Mediterranean / Holy Land, circa 1st–3rd century A.D.

A wheel-thrown ancient Roman terracotta beaker of deep, ovoid form with gently rounded body tapering to a small disc foot and rising to a slightly everted plain rim. The exterior is finished in a buff to pale cream-grey slip with finely incised horizontal ribbing produced on the wheel.

Size 4 inches (10.16cm) H. 

Beakers of this form were everyday drinking and serving vessels, mass-produced across Roman provincial workshops in the Eastern Mediterranean (Holy Land, Syria, and Asia Minor) and frequently recovered from domestic and funerary contexts of the early Imperial period.

Provenance: From the estate of Jacques (1921-2023) and Frances Crampon (1922-2025). Captain Crampon was born in Belgium, joined the Merchant Marine, and eventually became a Captain in the US  Navy, on search and rescue ships. He and his wife, Frances, a singer and actress, met when she was on a USO tour to Japan.  Together they traveled the world, living for several years in Tokyo and Capetown. They were avid collectors of Asian, pre-Columbian and ancient and fine art. They also had an extensive collection of maps. Jacques and Frances settled down in the heart of Manhattan's Greenwich Village, where they remained until their deaths, after very full and interesting lives:
