CERAMIC- ANCIENT PLATE 28CM

Ancient plates are objects that provide us with valuable information about the art, culture and daily life of ancient cultures. The materials from which the dishes were made varied, often clay, porphyry, metal or wood, and their decoration techniques included painting, carving and gilding. In ancient Greece, for example, dishes played an important role in banquets and religious ceremonies. The decoration of the plates often depicted scenes from mythology, everyday life or sporting activities, thus providing an insight into the social and cultural structure of the time. In ancient Rome, dishes were often more luxurious and sophisticated, using precious metals such as silver. They had not only a practical use, but also functioned as symbols of wealth and social status. These ancient dishes, passed down through the generations, offer us a window into the lifestyles of the cultures that produced them and allow us to appreciate their expertise and aesthetics.
