Reproduction Roman bowl

This reproduction silver Roman bowl was bought from Sabatino de Angelis et fils in 1900. The original was excavated at Pompeii and is now in the National Museum of Naples.

The bowl has slightly concave sides and a rounded bottom, both chased in low relief with stylised floral decoration.

Neapolitan foundries produced tens of thousands of copper alloy reproductions of items excavated at Pompeii and Herculaneum. The main manufacturers in the period 1860 to 1920 were Sabatino de Angelis, J Chiurazzi and G Sommer. All three issued catalogues. The reproductions were available in different sizes and different finishes including marble and silver. The de Angelis and Chiurazzi firms combined in the early 20th century.
