Literature
Patera's were originally used in the Roman world for serving food or drink at dinner parties or for pouring libations at religious ceremonies.We are delighted to be collaborating with photographer Jaron James on this project. Having worked together for many years photographing beautiful and captivating objects, the idea for this exhibition arose from Jaron’s pleasure in shooting select parts of objects, the details.
