African Red Slip ware
African Red Slip ware is a class of fine red-gloss pottery made in the Roman province of Africa, chiefly in modern Tunisia, from the late 1st to the 7th century CE. Mass-produced and widely exported, its plates and bowls became the dominant tableware across the Mediterranean from the 3rd century. Archaeologists use its well-dated forms to date sites throughout the late Roman world.
