Transformation presents a diachronic investigation providing a rich case study as well as an approach tracing the contours of a category of Roman material culture defined by the Roman period technique of openwork carving. As the first comprehensive assemblage of openwork vessels from Classical to late Antiquity, this work offers primary evidence documenting a key example of the fundamental shift from naturalism to abstraction in which inscriptions are transformed and word becomes image. A glass blower herself, Hallie Meredith poses questions about process, tactility and reception providing a clear picture of the original contexts of production and reception demonstrated by the Roman technique of openwork carving. In an in-depth analysis of the corpus as a whole, typologies (old and new), imagery, geometric patterning and inscriptions as the major divisions among openwork decorative elements, basic design principles are identified, non openwork carving and its relation to openwork decoration are discussed, as are the function, handling, display, movement and provenance of openwork vessels throughout the Roman Empire. Art historians and archaeologists working on the transition from Classical to late Antiquity, as well as scholars focusing on these and later periods of study, can fruitfully apply this approach to visual culture. This work shows how openwork vessels are a reflection of a wide-reaching Roman cultural aesthetic.

Les gobelets peints ont été durant de longues années considérés comme un groupe de céramique égyptienne unique et difficile à définir. Leur riche iconographie restait incomprise et leur datation placée à l'époque romaine ou romaine tardive. L'examen de la collection de tessons réunie par Lukas Benaki dans les années 1930 dans la nécropole de Hadra à Alexandrie et conservée au British Museum, au Musée gréco-romain d'Alexandrie et au Musée Benaki d'Athènes et de quelques vases complets, ainsi que des fragments mis au jour dans des fouilles récentes bien stratifiées à Alexandrie a permis de conforter la datation à l'époque hellénistique (IIe-Ier siècle av.0J. -C.), proposée par D. Bailey et de fixer leur lieu de production en Maréotide. Il a été possible d'identifier des scènes de procréation, d'accouchement et de banquet, associées à des représentations d'une nature prolifique, qui placent ces vases dans un contexte cultuel de célébration de la vie et de la renaissance. Ce volume a recu le prix "A la Mémoire de Jean Leclant" décerné par la Fondation Michela Schiff Giorgini en 2020.
