About the Item

Roman wine cups were much more than simple drinking vessels—they were indispensable symbols of status, taste, and social ritual in the ancient world. Crafted in a variety of shapes and materials to suit the era, occasion, and rank of the drinker, these cups played a central role in the sophisticated dining culture of Rome. During the famed convivia—lavish banquets where food, conversation, and ceremony intertwined—such cups were essential, reflecting both the refinement of the host and the enduring elegance of Roman craftsmanship. This oversized pair from the late 19th Century features beautiful vine and berry reliefs and are mounted on red marble bases. They make for elegant vases on a commode or as additions to your tablescape.
