Not only amphora from North Africa arrived at Mazarrón, but also plates, dishes, bowls and other examples of domestic tableware.

The role of North Africa in Mazarrón Port trade is not only reflected in the amphora but also in the domestic goods present in the Late Roman period. Along with the African kitchen pottery and other common ceramic products, imported domestic tableware stands out.

Along with specific testimonies of the so-called Terra Sigillata Lucente, produced in Saboya, or to a lesser degree Terra Sigillata, rubberstamped grey from Gallic workshops, and from the Late Roman C of eastern origin, probably in the Focea area, it will be the products from the Tunisia area which essentially make up the luxury tableware. Together with Late so-called African C products, the majority of the containers were part of the different Africana D productions. These were plates, dishes, bowls or lamps characterized by a typical orange or reddish coloured varnish applied inside, to the edge and sometimes to the upper third of the outer side, and with variable finish and quality. Occasionally there was stamped decoration on the internal flat bottom of the pieces, generally with geometric and plant or vegetable motifs, but also with the presence of zoomorphic motifs or even human figures or elements of Christian symbolism.
