	Samian ware - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Samian ware is a kind of bright red Roman pottery also known as terra sigillata.
		Samian has nothing to do with the island of Samos but was once thought to have originated there, and the name has stuck, at least in British usage.
		Decorated Samian could be created by adding designs in barbotine, applique or through rouletted or incised methods.

	Romano-British Pottery, Samian Ware (55 B.C.)
		Among all the ancient wares previously mentioned, little or nothing is known regarding the artizan or constructor, but upon these specimens the name of the producer is frequently met, in the usual Latin form of abbreviation.
		The ware was devoted to ornament as well as memorial pieces, and statuettes of graceful and pleasing design have also been found, although not in such profusion as pieces of utility.
		Doubtless much of the ware from the Island of Samos is of earlier date than that found in England, and of course antedates the Roman occupation, but the historic research of this ground is not so thorough as that of the countries which lie within more convenient reach of modern inquest.

		This project aims to record all samian ware from Wales in the National Museum of Wales.
		Roman samian ware was produced using semi-mechanised methods which tend to produce a standard range of shapes and a series of discernible decorative styles most of which are capable of dating.
		Although detailed analysis, particularly of decorative styles takes time (and a large library), it is perfectly possible to get a generalised idea of the date range of most samian by a limited study of its forms (shapes) and general decoration.
