Terra Sigillata Bowl

Latin: OF FAGE; Of(ficina) F(lavi) Ge(rmani) Translation: Office of Flavius Germanus

This bowl is an example of terra sigillata tableware which was popular in Italy and Gual. Terra sigillata can be reconginzed by its glossy surface slip which can range in color from pale orange to bright red. At the center of the vessel, within two circles, is the stamp OF FAGE in a rectangle, Of(ficina) Fla(vi) Ge(rmani). The potter Flavius Germanus was active at La Graufesenque and Bannassac during the Flavian period.

The downloadable files are in an .STL format which is optimal for 3D printing. We suggest using a free software such as Meshmixer to edit the file to your needs. Some objects may need supports added or should be hollowed out for the most efficient printing. Any questions about 3D printing should be directed to kelsey.disko.project@umich.edu.
