The function of Roman vessels is not always precise, as well as the separation between culinary forms and forms for domestic use, those of the kitchen and those of the table. Many bronzes belonged to table service (like perhaps this splendidly preserved example), others to objects of usual worship (patera) or washing, while basins, plates and crockery found their place above all in the kitchen.
