Carinated

Carinated is most often is used in a discussion of ancient pieces as more were produced during that time. Defined as a vessel, often a pouring vessel, rising up and outward from the piece’s foot meeting an inward sloping upper part of the vessel. Their meeting point is a radical change of direction forming a distinct edge that runs around the entire circumference of the vessel. We present Roman North African carinated pieces in our collection whose disparate profiles are fascinating and variable, as the edge created may be low, high or in between.
