A large quantity of tableware survives from the Roman Empire, including these pieces from Antioch and the Eastern Mediterranean. Most of the recovered groups of silver seem to have been hoards concealed during times of trouble. A complete table service, called a ministerium in Latin and a synthesis in Greek, consisted of silver for eating and drinking: trays, platters, plates, dishes and spoons, pepper dispensers, goblets, pitchers, ladles, and bowls. As the god of wine, Dionysos was frequently depicted on drinking and eating vessels.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Spouted Pitcher, crafted between 300-600 AD in silver. Hailing from the Byzantine era, this exquisite piece measures 10.8x18.8 cm and weighs approximately 298 grams. Currently housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, it is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of ancient dining practices. The significance of this pitcher lies not only in its intricate design but also in its historical context. It represents a larger collection of tableware that has been unearthed from the Roman Empire, particularly Antioch and the Eastern Mediterranean region. Many believe that these silver treasures were concealed during times of turmoil as hidden hoards. A complete table service during those times was known as a ministerium or synthesis and included an array of silver items for eating and drinking purposes – trays, platters, plates, dishes, spoons, pepper dispensers, goblets, pitchers like this one with spouts for easy pouring, ladles, and bowls. Interestingly enough, depictions of Dionysos - the god of wine - adorned many such vessels used for indulging in food and drink. This further emphasizes their importance within social gatherings where revelry was celebrated. This photograph captures not just an object but also transports us back to an era when fine dining was elevated to an art form through exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail.
