Arretine ware takes its name from Arretium (modern Arezzo, Italy), a major production site.Description
Showing a young man and woman reclining, probably at a symposium, this fragment comes from a mold that would have been used to produce relief-decorated terracotta bowls. For less affluent consumers, such products may have served as affordable alternatives to costlier versions made with precious metal.- Beazley Archive. n.d. Beazley Archive Pottery Database.
