Description : 1st-3rd century AD. A mixed group of three ceramic redware vessels comprising: one candle holder(?) with carinated body, cotton-reel shaped neck, shallow foot, ribbed strap handle, flaring rim and internal shelf, one bell-shaped beaker with tall foot and two concentric circumferential bands around the rim, one piriform vessel with flared foot, disc rim and strap handle comprising three ribs. 867 grams total, 9.3-18.5cm (3 1/2 - 7 1/4). From the private collection of Antony John Scammell (1937-2019), acquired on the UK art market from 1960-2000. Antony John Scammell (1937-2019) was born, and lived his entire life, in the city of Bristol, England. Already from an early age he was enthralled by history and the heroes that it created. While serving overseas with the British Army, Antony began collecting coins and banknotes and this led to collecting a variety of different items throughout his life. From the early 1960s onward, Antony invested in acquiring ancient artefacts. Antony's vast collections started with Egyptian antiquities, but soon branched into Greek and Roman civilisations. The Roman civilisation fascinated him most and, when family commitments allowed, archaeological digs were coordinated in the west of England. These digs uncovered numerous artefacts, many of which were donated to local museums. In retirement, the collecting continued apace, branching into UK coins, British Empire banknotes and fossils. [3]
